Rubbing down the diff casing? It's not a snow car mate?..if it's any consolation..when I'm sat at my workbench cleaning grease and old paint off of old bike/car parts  I'm transported back to my early teenaged years when I was doing the same thing ? Undecided

The photos lie -it's not nearly as good as it looks! Just brush painted, but I'd like it good enough that I'm happy for anyone to look at any part of it without me having to make excuses for it. It was never meant as a Rat Rod, though that's how lots of people referred to it when it was first out & about.

You'll never think it looks right Andy - there will always be something you think could l;ook better.  But you must train yourself out of that habit cos really you just want it on the road!

You're right Bobbi, but the photos look way better than reality. It's been absolutely baking hot here today. Too hot for this podgy Postie. So I didn't venture out to the garage till mid evening when it'd cooled down a bit. The paint's got lots if runs in it, but is still slightly rubbery to the touch. So I'm not going anywhere near that with wet n dry for another day at least. I must finally be growing up -not so long ago I'd be impatiently trying to rub it down & smearing it everywhere!
Really need to get some of this stuff back on the Pop soon.

 Cheesy Ordered a new pair of fuel taps from Ebay, (one's leaking). I needed 3/8" NPT. That's what they were listed as on Ebay. They're actually 3/8" fuel pipe size & 5/8" NPT fitting. Anyone want a brand new pair of taps?
