  1. just put a little glass on the back to strengthen it.. i sanded the fiberglass a little and then started bogging it up.. theres a lot of bog as this is were the shape will come from. all so sanded the crack in the old cup back a bit and bogged that up as well.. some people have PMed me and asked how i made the 1st cup so here a little run down no pic sorry i just sort of put it together. its the same as how I'm making the new one just one bit of pipe about 560mm its from bunnings its actually pool filter pipe just take your gage along to make shore it fits snugly and then fiberglass the pipe to hold it then bog it up... easy hay. STILL bogging and sanding but looking better.. just about finished sanding had to put a little more bog in some holes. it looks a bit ruff because i used 2 different bogs but it nice and smooth. and finished the cup just have to paint. put a thin layer of paint on. its primer sealer when it drys its like the plastic use to be a Little ruff (it hides bad bits) i do this so if theres bit that was bad i can just sand a little. when this drys i will be putting about 2 more cotes on then sand smooth then put a clear cote on it... added clear... and finished
  2. I'm working on my dash. I wanted some thing LIKE this just were the small gages are. this is what i had and wanted the gages to face me more eg on an angle. so what I'm going to do is cut some pool pipe 560mm that the gages fit very sung in. wile i was going to do this i thought i would fix my first cup i made. so i cut the pipe at an angle (i just guessed the angle i needed) and all 3 in there started glassing.. i just put a little hot glue to hold the cups.. and i decided that the gages should be spreed out more rather than bunched up. i added the plastic i cut off the end to the middle bits to make it stronger. and made shore the gages looked right. and the 1st bit of glass
  3. what we used to do to repair bike tanks was get a motor bike running and just stick the tank over the muffler for 10 mins

KE35 coupe silver metalick (needs clear cote) things that i need to do.. Ive got to cut the rust out of the bonnet or get a new one (no luck so far). then see if i can fix the problem of the bonnet not laching over. then see if i can find any other problems and go for a blue slip. then put some clear on it. then later GZE time
