Tremclad has an off-the-shelf colour titled something like "leather brown" in a flat.  A full gallon jug was something like $45 bucks.  No custom tinting needed.  They also sell hammer-tone paint too.  Might be worth looking into when it comes time for a squirt.

Yes, I'm still alive

 

Ok, time to get the rat out it's hole and start grinding off the body filler.

Oh, I finally got those pesky front lower shock brackets made and welded on. I'm happy with the results.

So this is what's under the filler. I love it, but I don't think there's enough of it over all to just clear coat, so I think I'll still be painting

Thanks Chuck. I'm determined to fit a shallow tank, as I like the clean look of the back. But hey, I still need to find space for a battery and a couple of humans, so it's still an option.

Hey guys and gals.

I just don't know where the time goes. My mum is visiting at the moment, so not getting to work on Rodney right now.

Getting pretty frustrated watching cool cars drive by.

Well I went down to The Cat shop last night to do a wee shop clean up (and collect even more scrap metal for my collection).

Glenn helped me get motivated again, as I hit a bit of a brick wall with where I was going with my project.

Progress is about to resume

Thanks Cat.

Tum tee tum, still here. lol

I had never planned to have the rod on the road this year, as we were pretty low on funds for the first year of our immigration, but things are looking up now. The plan is to work on it from October through to spring, and hopefully hit the road next summer

When I first got here I was in such a big hurry, trying to make up for lost time, but now I realise there's no rush, and simply having a cool project in my garage is enough to keep me happy for now.

I must admit though, I was insanely jealous when Andrew dropped by the other night in his extremely cool low rider ford (Gangrene).
