Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache

Repaired torn, bent, and fatigue-cracked West Coast Mirror holes, fitted the bottom door skin, then sprayed epoxy primer on everything in anticipation of final welding some time this week. Before closing it up, I'm going to run some Eastwood Internal Frame Coating through the cavities in the door.



The stand is my "Exhaust Pipe Stands" for doing exhaust, which double as the kids' Badminton net stands.

In cleaning my spray gun, I broke the mounting bolt for the air flow adjusting screw. Turns out it's 5/16-UNF, with a 4.5x0.75mm thread inside. I machined a new one out of a bolt, but I need to get that tap as I don't have one. Should be able to fix it just fine.
