Nitromethane, always keen on meth chat! it rules. Need to start a 1/8th mile ag spec drag bike class

Fuckin keen on this

I've only used durapox to paint a shop floor lol but I'd say it'd be sweet for floor pans etc.

As for a miracle product I use Brunox, comes in a spray can or brush on, have never had any problem with it.

Its not ideal to leave basecoat for over 8hrs before clearcoating.

One of the main reasons that the clear will lift in time, should really rub down spray another coat of base and then clear it.

I imagine but most panel beaters will use a lot of filler in lieu of fixing it properly.

Rubbish, that's a piss easy repair, will have only damaged the outer sill. I can't see that taking me more that 1 or 2 hours to repair with minimal bog not sure what paint would cost though would imagine fuck all.

god it scares me how thin cheap Haro BMX frames are.

Golly

Ok, i need to find me a pipe bender or two stat!

We got one you can use depending on what size you need to do

Whats the thing on the headlight?

For tapping highs out it all depends on how high they are, Biggers ones may need to be shrunk out using oxy/acetelyne and a hammer and dolly(usually a dolly with quite a long curve on it and an ordinary panel hammer) or you can use a knurled hammer instead.Always hit them in a dragging type motion moving out from the centre as if your trying to spread the steel out of the high spot. should do a video or pictures because I'm useless at writing haha maybe tomorrrow

What day are you guys planning on getting there?

pretty sure we did

me n the old boy are heading back over this year, doing the camper van thing. will be keen for catching up with everyone there for sure

Was always told that growing up, the old man (a fitter turner)gave me a good slap round the ears one day for wearing gloves while grinding. glove gets caught around the chuck or whatever and makes a hell of a mess rather than a cut.

I'm keen as fuck seeing as I missed last year

Gloves

never wear gloves with a rotating tool, tears fingers off pretty easily.

I just put a bit of tape over the breather hole when its sitting round, have never had it go off on me yet

When I do resto jobs (if the customers budget allows) I like to strip back to bare metal,rub it down with deoxidene (sp?) on a scotch pad then epoxy prime as soon as practical (making sure nobody touches the steel after its been rubbed down), Then do all the repairs over the epoxy, usually I keep a gun full of it close to the job and prime the repairs as soon as they are done or if they're being left overnight just so the filler doesn't soak up any moisture.

If at the time I can afford to I'll be doing that too.

Any other thoughts/ideas/criticism feel free to post it up, all helps make future events better.

Only problem we had was we didn't see the map on the back of the poker run sheet till on the way home on sunday haha, still got to all the cards though, top job

Fuckin sweet weekend, hats off to everyone that made it happen.
