Problem: Cracked headlight bucket. Solution?: 'Cargo QuickSteel' plastic repair compound ... YEA YEA! So far, its an unbelievable product. Cut off a piece, need it in your fingers till it gets nice and hot, stick it down and mould it quick as you can... leave over night. BOOM! Hard as a rock and ready to grind and sand. Yes... grind. They don't call it 'Quick Steel' for nothing!
We'll see how well it holds up after painting and drilling....and miles of vibration. Hmmmm I'm skeptical.
Lucky for me, the chrome surround cleaned up nicely with some steel wool, and once I polish it, she'll sparkle like new. So, off to the local Auto barn to get some plastic primer ready for a few coats of satin black.
Other updates. Finally I got out of my work chair, and took my frame to the guys lucky enough to take on the minor mods to the rear of the subframe, blast clean, paint, and fabricate my new side panels.
Hopefully, they will look a little like this bike below. Cool. :)
The engine is off getting 'Soda Blasted' nice and clean ready to plop back into the newly painted frame. :) Can't wait to see it.
Should look like the SOHC one the guy just completed a couple of weeks ago. Nice, understated finish.
To be continued....
