Smurf still hasn't joined the forum yet after the crash so untill he does allow me to finished the thread!.....

So me n lateagain were already for iow but smurf was seriously leaving it till the last min so after some late nights working on his fatty ( one 4am ) It all came down to the night before.......

Unfortunately the mext mornin (Friday) the kickstart piston went as we were leavin!!.... So had to strip the fecker before the off!

Ready to roll!... Zero miles on smurfs fatty ... Running in and actually still building it on the way there!!!

So just made it to the island before closing time!.. Stopping at the king lud on see front for a cheeky one...

The day after on the green

Lateagain turns up on the Saturday mornin with the rest of the roadrunners

And the fat boy three are all finished and mission completed.....

Russian roulette fuel stops and Nobby's piston holing on a bullet-proof MB TS225 tune sent me in an EGT and CHT gauge direction... overkill maybe but gave me something to do once the kids were in bed.

Dug out some racking and worked out necessary circumference for the Skydrive gauges

Cut and formed round a scaffold tube

Sussing out positioning, cut some cardboard tubes out to mock up

Decided on two on the left hand side

Cable tied tubes round gauges

Scribed

Chain drilled

Butchered...

Tidied up

Angle of the dangle check

Next one tidied...

Clocks in...

Off to Nobby for fab fabbing skills

Bit of Fat Boy 3 Death Juice rusty starter applied

Clocks mounted. Bingo.

TBC...

A secret fatboy3 death juice recipe!

.... Basically acccccidddd...... Applied for a hour or so to etch the metal then just add water!

Thats easy enough

We found some drain cleaner that is hardcore nasty shit and has sulphuric acid in it- it will etch steel no problem.... And take paint off most things.... And melt plastic lids..... And also take your finger print grooves off your finger tips if you leave it on there to long!

by **LateAgain** » Tue Nov 04, 2014 1:59 pm

Hardware stores sell the kind of stuff... ACCCCCIIIIIIEEED.

Mind ya fingers... and clothes ... and paintbrushes .... and bench tops ... and metal bowls. Paint it on, stand back and watch it work...
