Thread of the Day: '67 T100 Hardtail Build

Seat:

..

...

...almost done buffing, just a bit more on this edge...oops...

Exhaust is done and with that all of the major fab work is completed I think...





Now it's time for final touches, then send out the chromework, etc. and begin bodywork and paint:

Frame is basically done:

PPG NCP primer is probably the best high build primer on the planet, I know it's just primer, but it still made me giddy spraying this on:





Stuff looks wet like paint and sands like butter...

Pics were taken yesterday about 1/2 hour after final coat. Today it still looks pretty shiny, not as much as pics, but still more than other primers.

Thanks, I am on a mission! I'll sand this down, use a bit of glazing putty and prime again.

Then I'll prep the tank and fender and do the same to them, then paint everything.

After that it's engine time!!!

Silver base, white seat and accents, the rest is variable until it goes together.

Been awhile since I updated, this is for the both of you out there that are interested in this build:

Tank iced and ready for primer:





Fender iced and ready for primer:



Im probably pissing in the wind but I really want to preserve the Made In England on this thing for some reason, no one will prob ever see it though:

Sent this assemblage of stuff to the chromer 3 weeks ago, should be ready any day:



Got my rims/ hubs back from powdercoat: first time they did it they had some overspray or contaminated powder or something: little black specs everywhere. The redo turned out great though:

diggin the rims man, black spokes or chrome?

Yeah, I want to eat them, poli$hed $tainle$$ $poke$ from Buchannan'$ I'm afraid...

Got my chrome back today: I swear it felt like Christmas!!!

Chromer f-ed up and sanded a hole through my pipe, then had some yay-who try to braze it up with less than stellar results.

Motor back in the frame for a Mulligan:

screw the chrome, run that exhaust wrap and no one will know
