Random working shots..

as funny as it sounds, quite often i forget to get pictures of alot of the stuff I/we work on around the shop. sometimes, i am really good about it, others not so much. but from time to time, Lawrence, or Talon, or who knows will be milling about, and i will toss them the camera to get some pics. and just about always, i end up coming across alot of pics of myself in action. always looks funny seeing myself in a picture, cant say why though. i am a little more used to the car getting the lense time, not me lol..

B.L.M.F.S. and some more dash pics..

sorry for the lack of updates. been a busy SOB the last few weeks. just dropping a few pics from the Bearded Lady Motorcycle Freak Show that was held a few weeks back now. quite a few bikes, but only a handful worth the pic space to be honest.
and an updated at the time, pic of the dash flocking mid process. i will get some more pics up here soon of it all finished up.

dashboard "flocking".. ("oh yea, flock you too!") part 1

spent the weekend working on the dash in the golf. i have been wanting to try this for a bit now, after seeing it done on a pals Subaru out east a few years back. the process is called flocking, and its more or less a suede look when its all said and done. I needed a new wind screen, so why not take a wack at it while I could have it out for few days. so far looks good, but i cant get a final look for a few days, so as to let the adhesive cure properly before I try and clean up the mess..

taping it up for the first section. you have roughly a 15 minute time-frame from putting on the adhesive, until it starts to cure. and it shows lines if you stop halfway through. so i figured i would use the existing separation to split it up

and after the first go around with the fibers. its a mess to deal with, but nothing i havent dealt with before.

sorry for the rest being kinda dark, its hard to capture a good image of it right now. have to wait a good 24 hours for it to kick over before blowing it off at low pressure. and another couple days until i can brush it out. but you get the idea..

goodbye to Tek. for now...

D.Tek is back in jersey as far as i can tell. no good byes or nothing, but at least i know he made it back safe and sound. at least i hoope he had a chance to get a good feel for the scene here in mn while he was here. me and Pancakes will see him again in september for h2oi. until then, a few more shots from the man himself..
