And so it begins....

Ok here ya go....

Started with a couple of plastic wrapped pieces of wood...

 

Then I screwed them to the underside of the upper legs...

 

Then I just started laying strips of cloth on top of it. This is three layers...

 

Both done. Gotta wait for it to dry, then take a sharpie, draw out the legs, then dremel to shape.

 

More to come later today.

 

Not bad at all, simple and not overthinking it.

 

Simple is my middle name.

 

Is just paint the shakes and roll like that!

 

What?

 

The new windshield mounts look good and should shape just fine. Hopefully they will stay in place...

Just a tip to all "do it yourself'ers" when working with fiberglass, you must "grind" ( min 40 grit ), not sand, off the old paint and primer, back down to the original fiberglass so the new patches will adhere better and be stronger. This will allow the new patches to stand up against any shaping, filling, sanding and painting.

Applying fiberglass over paint is like tape, once a corner comes loose, the rest will peel off pretty easy.

 

Damn. Thanks for the tip. I guess I could grind beyond what I've done and then throw a couple more longer layers on top for better adhesion?

 

Okay.

 

Let it dry where it is with the boards still screwed on. Grind through the new glass to get off the green paint. Once you get the old glass prepped, rough up the new a little, reapply a few layers to reattach old and new.

Hope that makes sense... little hungover!!

 

When wrecked the R3, I found every piece except for this pain in the ass!!!

 

Imma make a replica voodoo doll out of fiberglass of your ass and shoot it.

 

DAMN! That must've been a bitch.

 

Gonna forget what Parrish said for a minute........and go ahead and cut this shit out. I'll come back and finish it later. Still got a couple other spots to fix anyhow. So....sharpie mock up...

 

Bam. Just like that....

 

Half ass sanded. Shit's taking shape.

 

For Eberhart...
