Re: 198Plus build
Alan or Ronnie. When you sand the side panels what do you use. A long board, air inline long board, or what?

Re: 198Plus build
I'm painting all the new parts I added to my bike. I found out if you sand through the paint into the primer or more, you can't paint over it or it will get under it and wrinkle it. You need to re primer it a little at a time to seal it. Then block it again.
![]() ![]() It's a long process. But I'm confident it will come out great. I posted this information just to help everybody out that didn't know. ![]() ![]()

Re: 198Plus build
It probably took him longer to butcher it than doing it the right way.

Re: 198Plus build
When I was a kid, my boss had a similar piece of Bondo like that on his desk. He had written "it looked good until it fell out" on it, and he used it as a paperweight.

Re: 198Plus build
I see you have your engine perches in the rear holes is that going to work out ok and what motor mounts are you going to use. I'm asking because I,m at the same point as you and installing a big block.
Thanks |
