    Yea, I am spraying some of it tonight. I like the product. Just didn't have my gun settings right and striped up the metallic. I have since learned to spray metalics much better. Spraying Hotrod flatz as we speak.

    love that bike, wonder if it had some kind of sidecar cobled to it as those weld spots look like where you would want to attach too,

  • @turbocobra

    Your probably right Darren. The Simplex bikes were called "ServiCycles" and they were used for deliveries, and man of them had side cars. so this one may have had a side car at some point.

    the guy who painted my truck had the same problem.but the other problem i had was it took about 2 months for the actual color to appear.i got the blue daytona pearl and when it first got painted it looked like a lavender.sounds like you have had better luck or learned how to use it.anyway good luck and look forward to seeing the stang come together

    Hey Gary, glad to see you back on the videos!.. The Stang is looking good, I think you are OK with all those lights just don't go and add a bunch of neon lights under the car or we may have to have an intervention... ;P.. What kind of bike is that, it looks like a real old Indian?.

Merry Christmas to you and your family too.... looking forward to the next update...

    Whatever happened to the Simplex? I saw other videos of progress, but I don't recall a finished product.

    • @turbocobra
      @turbocobra  9 лет назад

      GunPilot It's pretty well finished. I never put the motor on it because i didn't have the original motor, and bought a chinese dirt bike motor from eBay, so looking for something more period correct.

    • @MrGunPilot
      @MrGunPilot 9 лет назад

      Cool. Meanwhile, you could probably make that eBay motor look "period" just to get it running. Regardless, it'll be a neat ride when complete.

    • @turbocobra
      @turbocobra  9 лет назад

      GunPilot yea, i have some 2" copper pipe i was going to tig braze for exhaust and a couple more things. We will get back on it one of these days!
