I got some work done today. It's been awhile since I made any headway on this bike, felt good to get a little closer to finished.
What I did today was (finally) finish up my tank badges. I had made them months ago, out of MDF and styrene, but they were flat on the backside, and didn't contour to the shape of the tank at all.
I couldnt use them like that, so I needed to contour the backside to the shape of the tank. Easy enough. Lay down some masking tape on the tank, apply a ton of bondo to the back of the badge, and squish it on. When it dries you can take it off, and the shape is perfect.
Clean up the edges with a handheld power sander, and test fit it to the tank.
Reapply the chrome tape, and epoxy them to the tank. All in all, about 4 hours of work, including the bondo drying time. I should have done this a long time ago.
