If you wanna play you gotta... (seems like a theme lately)

My order from Old Dude arrived Wednesday...

...Pay



Damn...I'm not Parkerizing this brake pedal...

More stuff to Parkerize!


Blasted...

My kitchen Thanksgiving morning...



Oh yeah...nothing like a fresh batch of Toxic Waste on Turkey Day!

Rinse cycle...

Set the table...

And all was right with the world....


In need of more blasting and Parkerizing...

Blasted and ready to dip...

Reinforcement plate...a must.

Working out well...

Well I'm done bitching about the $$$ and I'm back to work on the '47 FL. I got my little $77 bag from Old Dude and wasted no time putting it to use. I guess you pay for the convenience of having the right parts for your 1947 H-D delivered right to your door... ordered them on Monday and they arrived on Wednesday.

The bike is coming together. I worked on the headlight bracket, shock and horn stuff today and then moved to the front brake. I'm waiting for the black paint on the backing plate to dry as I type. It looks like Ill make some good headway this weekend if I don't get side tracked...
My Thanksgiving morning was spent in the kitchen...Parkerizing. I had to refer back to the post I did a while ago on Microwave Parkerizing...It works great for small stuff!
