Afternoon Del. Mate I've followed this build right from the get go (and you from the old garage). I must say its given me the drive to start a project, experiment like you have. I am currently in my last 12 months of the Armed Forces, then I'm moving abroad but having something like your channel to inspire me to do something constructive will help with my PTSD. Absolutely love what your creating mate, well done!
Thank so much Bri' its really good of you to get on touch and share your story mate, what a new adventure you're about to embark on, its not easy switching over to civvie life, but in a year or two you'll be grafted into it, and wonder what Army life was like..Its a real honour to be able to inspire you to get into something constructive, and good luck getting your head on an even keel mate... Keep in touch, and thanks so much for your kind support.. Crack on... Del.
Looking great Del. You have amazing talent
Thank you my friend, that's too kind...
Totally honest
when skimming over glass like that add thinners to the filler when mixing makes for a much thinner layer takes half the labour out and you get much more time to apply
Goo thinking, I haven't done that before, but I will give that a try... if you got it thin enough, you could almost pour it on in flat areas, and it would almost be self leveling... but it would have to be flat areas, otherwise it would run off lol - thank you for the tip Ricky, this is why I love YT, with our shared knowledge we can always learn new things....!
Looks good Del! Just make sure when you do put some primer/paint on there to see the impurities etc. that it's of high quality and compatible with the layers to come!
Did something similar to your projects back in the days and I took a can of cheaper primer when going through the layers of filler. I gave the finished parts to the paint shop for spray painting everything professionally. The first coating they put on had a chemical reaction with my previous primer I used to see for flaws in the filler! Basically the whole thing looked like a raisin with sharp edges everywhere! I had to grind all the filler down and clean everything with thinner to remove all the incompatible primer I had used. Basically did the work twice due to me being cheap. Probably you will not have these problems, but something to be aware of. Cheers
EDIT: too late, sorry
Hi Del,
I have finally caught up completely with the build, and I must say, I am impressed. I mean for me to get rid of something that I spent 150 hours on to start over is a hard decision. and yet, I think the bike will look better for it. I am always surprised how it all takes shape.
I think the tank needs something else. Otherwise it's just.. a tank you know?
Thanks buddy, you're very kind, and you're very right as well... it was, indeed, a bit of a wrench to scrub that steel tail and start again... but it was way out of proportion to the bike, and I didn't want to sacrifice the bike having the right look just because of the hours invested... I'm not on a deadline, it'll be finished when it's finished, and when I'm happy with the way it looks... The tank will be getting something more, I have a wonderful cable driven analogue speedo which I wanna build an a-symmetrical pod for on the front edge of the tank, so that will be another part of the project once the tai's ready to go !
Hey Del! been a while since ive left a message and me and a friend from work just got home and first thing we did is watch this and i cant cant explain the level of excitement that came from the idea of you "thinning" out that tail! its a must like a major serious must!! keep up the work man i adore this bike so much id love to see it in a competition at bum in the mud or other rally HINT HINT ;) love you bro
Hi Keiran, wow thanks for that cool feedback mate.. the tail just looked like it was from a far bigger bike, and didn't hang right... streetfighters need a tiny tail and a big fat tyre!... it's not so far of finishing now, once the tail is all done, then it's time for wiring, MOT and paint, so am hopeful that maybe this year I'll have it done , just gotta keep at it , and I do intend to take it to some shows for sure... !
looking good, the work that is going into this is astounding, so many hours!
Thanks buddy, it is dragging on a bit.. but im in no hurry, and i dont need the bike any time soon..! its a long term project that im learning a lot from along the way. take care and have a good weekend.. Del.
I sooo can't wait for the paint segment 👍
Looking real good,,, can't wait to see it finished Penny and You have a safe ride and wonderful weekend
Thank you Paul, its always good to hear from you, have a great weekend yourself, and keep in touch.. Take care. D&Px
'Struttage' - a seriously underused word. Well done!
Isn't just mate, Lots more gibberish where that came from..!!
Fair play to you filling all that, that's a lot of time and work. I wouldn't have been that fussy and just skimmed over the rougher and dimply bits =P
I hadn't watched your making of this seat with the bubble free fibreglass so I was staring at that seat for ages in your intro wondering what it was.
And well done to you not chucking that filler dust in the bin, what you did is very responsible of you caring about the environment and all things breathing, nice one ; )
I'm looking forward to seeing how you're gonna make the foam for the top of that seat.
Thanks buddy, I think the first time you do a lot of filler sanding in your garage, especially with an air sander, then you come in the next day and you can still smell it... there are no fumes obviously, it's just micro dust in the air... so it seemed obvious..... but I've actually kept that dust for Sunday week's video, and am gonna re-cycle it in to some more filler... I've done it a few times when I've run out but still need an extra spoonful... I guess, in a way, it's even more responsible than throwing it out in a safe lump, plus it saves a few bob too lol !
Nice one Dell! Coming along well mate! looking forward to seeing it on the road, seeing your paddock stand under the bench like that at the end of the video finally gave me a place to put my one as i have a similar bench been taking up space in the garage for years haha
ha ha, i still trip over it there too.... glad to be of help mate.. have a good weekend.. Del.
Hey it really is looking great ! after you prime with a filler primer you can dust on some rattle can black to help you sand down and find all its hidden secretes ! It is really awesome ! You really don't need t worry about the weight at all ! You are shining bright on this one ! Great job ! Cheers
Thanks Cody, that's really encouraging... it's lots of fun, and am really enjoying the process !
Show!!!!!
Del Great vid like the idea of thinning sides down getting rid of the tabs i read the comments from the other viewers for ideas and like the one about thinning filler with thinners for skimming it thinner like the tool reviews have a good weekend you two 👍
Thanks Kevin.. yeah i liked that comment too, ill be giving it a try next weekend in the Sunday review.... i filmed tomorrows already, (some useful little rescue tools).. but next weekend im going to try out another thing that a viewer suggested.. ive made up some filler from using the sanded off dust in the past when ive run out.... but someone suggested using Talcum powder to make filler... and you know how things get passed around and exaggerated.. so im gonna try it out, and also ill try the thinners trick to make runny filler too.. it's all handy to know if it works before you rely on it for a job..!
Looking good, btw at least in here they have filler also in rattle cans, might help to make the filling part easier. Anyways nice one mate as one is I think supposed to say there. Cheers :)
Yep, that's it, got it right lol... thanks for your support ... appreciated!
lookin good.great work ethic.good plan with box section.all the very best to you both. cheers.
Thnaks Rob, i think thats clearly the right direction aye.. ! Thanks for your support.. !
looking awesome mate , it will look heaps better once you cut the sides down it will give it heaps more of an aggressive look and make it look higher in the rear
Yeah, thats the aim Brett, i can see the exact places to cut once its bolted down, so thats next weeks tasks.. Thanks for yout kind support mate.. all the best.. del.
Really nice! I hope you are thinking about a flush undertray otherwise the tire will fill up the battery tray with water/dirt/etc.
Yeah, i am indeed.. i want to get the top part of the panel bolted down first, then trim up the sides to get the final shape.. then ill construct a suitable undertray to protect everything. ..
Can't wait to see the result!
Looking good buddy.
Coming on nicely bud👊mad to see what a difference it is with some paint on it ..
Cheers bud, just a thin layer to make it look the part, then i can fine tune it later..
Another great job del, I bet its at the point where you wish you could just ride it now.
Say hi to penny for us from team ccuk.
Well done brother.
Ayup brother, good to hear from you again, hope you and the boys are good... looks like the season's round the corner, hope you're getting out and about on the bikes, and enjoying the sunshine! Can't wait to build another rat bike myself, I miss it doing all this posh shiney stuff lol... PP says Hi and enjoy the sunny miles.... chat soon, Del
Good idea re a bit of trimming I think, Del. And never knew that filler dust was toxic! Doh! 🏍👍🏍
Im not sure its actually 'toxic' mate.. but its certainly at irritant in that fin powdered form, if you can breath it in, then it can't be good for you..
Moonfleet41 gotcha... makes sense
Loving this series Del, never done anything like this so very intersting to see. (Sorry cant give you any tips, you know far more than me lol )
Thanks buddy, having lots of fun, never done a scratch built panel this way myself yet either.. so learning as i go.
Credit to you Del, its coming on great mate. I am so glad you are not using wood and going to cannibalize the old aluminum frame, a lot stronger and safer. Penny and you have a great weekend. Cheers
Thanks buddy.. it was just the reference to boat building made by a viewer.. i was for somewhere to bolt it down to.. but with the alloy box tubing i can fit stainless steel rivnuts which will be perfect.. !
Looking sweet now
Thanks Ian, good to hear from you mate.
Have you thought about building a shop air filter for the garage? There are a number of videos about how to make them inexpensively and you could easily throw one together in a few hours using a simple box fan, some inexpensive lumber and standard furnace filters (assuming those are available on your side of the Atlantic, too).
Yes, I have many times, but every time I get a day in the garage I just wanna get on with the build! Maybe when the bike's finished mate ... cheers
Looking great and a much better idea canabilizing the old aluminium frame to give you support for the tail section. Will she be ready by the summer? Keeping tuned in. Nice one Del.
Sure thing mate, I looked at the price of aluminium stock and it's silly expensive, I can't sell the old frame cos I modified it at the back so just gonna harvest the raw materials from it !
epic stuff del keep it up and before you know it will be done and you are out with the freedom.
Oh blimey, I daren't even think it... I've been at this so long, I'll wonder hat to do with my time lol ! Thanks for watching buddy...
its cool i am on my own project that i have been at it for over a year now and i am still not done and i have watched from the start still epic stuff
Love love this build! The sharp angle of the fin still bothers me against the curves of the front. 🤔
The tail tip is temporary mate, just until i get it properly bolted down solid, then i can graft the light tube in there which will give the back edge a muscular curve like the rest of the bike... all in hand mate... got to laminate the support struts into it this coming week.. Thanks for your support.. Del.
Massive layer of filler and sand half off or build up from thin layers and sand in between... Hmm
Once you have trimmed it along the side it will look awesome !! Very Panigale !
Thanks buddy, that's very kind !
Coming along now del... Good job..
Cheers Brian, and I just wanna say mate, that's for your really long term support... you've been commenting on our videos for years and years mate, it's been great to have you along for the ride, we consider you a good friend mate, take care and have a good weekend, D&Px
oh always watching and hitting the like button del. just done comment as much now, dont have the time like i used too.
Have you ever done this before Del? Love the shape.
Hi Del, see at 15 51, that looks like the gap you should have between back of the tailpiece and the tank, just don’t look enough room when you sat on it earlier. You still cool with it matey?
Hi Mike, stick with it buddy, once the front strut is in place it lifts the tail panel vertically upwards by an inch, this will bring the front lip of the panel back 6mm as when you lift the seat higher the gap gets wider... there will be at least a 6mm panel gap between the tank and the gap when they're bolted down, enough room for them both to move freely on their rubber mounts and not touch... also once I've fitted a pad on it to sit on, that'll lift me a little higher still so it'll actually be quite roomy when it's done - certainly for my arse lol !
Moonfleet41 understood Del, now you’ve said about the 6mm. Think my missus would like 6mm, every little helps lol🤪
Greate work mate! But am I the only one that thinks the space between the tank and the back rest is a little too small? Can you sit and move inside that small gap? Not trying to be a dick or anything. Im just wondering.
Hi buddy, yeah just about... I did sit on it in a previous video with the camera side on exactly like it is in the avatar, and it is, maybe, a little snug, there's probably only an inch to move back and forward, but I fit in there just right... you know how it is, things always look a bit different on camera.... but the gap from the back of the tank to the face of the hump is about 11"... which will keep me off the doughnuts !
Moonfleet41 That's been my thought too, Del. It also looks like it could be a bit of a challenge mounting and dismounting the bike. I learn a lot from your videos, on the fiberglass series, I've learned not to try it myself.... I'm staying tuned, buddy!
Thanks Art, always appreciate your kind support my friend. Have a good weekend over there.. D&Px
Won't the seat padding raise the posterior to more space higher up where it tapers out?
Hi Gary, I guess, in theory, yes it will, but I will only use a thick layer of leather wit, maybe, a think skin of memory foam underneath it, not going for a thick seat... but a good idea indeed if it turns out to be too snug due to the 'doughnut' count in the future !
Taking shape now Del , keep up the good work 👍.
Very cool del...hope you dont cut off too much. yes ears def need to go but the rest perfect in line with the tank.
Thanks Mario, yeah its just trimming to make it a little slimmer up the sides and blend the curves together... i have to get it bolted down solid this coming week, and then i can get those lines right knowing they wont move..!
at the 0:40 look in the back where the clock is theres a ghost ord going down then up at 0:54
Blimey didn't spot that in editing... and have spotted a fair few over the years! It does seem a common thing, perhaps we are haunted, just wish a few of them would help pay the bills!
(P) Another step forward 👍🏻
Looking really good, can see how it's going to look now
Looks spot on again mate, providing inspiration for my next winter project. Any advice mate on a bike that’s been stood for ten years? It’s my step dads Honda goldwing, (not my cup of tea but it’s a free project I can make some money on) it’s been stood in a shed and has a trike conversion on it. Cosmetics are in decent nick brakes etc are easy enough, but where would you start with regards to the engine? Surely it’s not a case of new oil, filter and fresh fuel?
Hi buddy, wow that sounds like a fun project, and you're right to think twice about the engine... the good thing is it's a Honda, and they're well built and reliable... but 10yrs plays havoc with an engine and there will be issues... the first thing, and I mean the very first thing, before you even turn it over is take the cam belt cover off and put a new cam belt on it... if that's perished through, or the teeth are perished badly, then when you turn it over, if it snaps, or the teeth shear off, then the cams go out of line with the crank, pistons hit valves and you've done internal damage to th engine - you WILL need to replace that cam belt anyway, so do it first before you even turn the engine over....
Then it's the carbs next, get them off, get the float bowls off and get all the snot cleaned out of them that will inevitably be in there... drop the rocker covers off, easy enough as they're on the outside, clean out any gunk in there, spray with lots of WD40, get everything wet and clean again, then put them back on... then with the carbs back on, it's simply, like you said, fresh oil, fresh battery, and with the plugs out and a good squirt of WD40 in the holes...... spin it over...
Once you've got it all turning over nice and freely, stick the plugs back in, turn the fuel on and fire it up... the rest you'll have to devise with what you find as results, let us know how you get on, good luck with it mate !
Moonfleet41 thanks pal that’s fantastic information. Keep up the good work; I love the channel. My 12year old lad loves watching the videos too, you’re attracting a diverse audience now! Take care, look forward to tomorrow tool vid.
Hi again buddy, thanks so much for that feedback, that's very kind... it means so much, and I really do mean this, it means SO much that your lad watches our videos... I learned from a wise man 10yrs ago when I started making videos, he told me never cuss or swear, don't be insulting or vulgar, because you never know who is out there watching... and the more of a gentle audience you attract, the better you'r doing... and they don't get more precious than kids aye brother?? It's an honour to have him aboard as a view...
If your lad would like a sticker, then get him to email Penny on delboysgarage@yahoo.com - tell us his name, and where to post it to, and we'll drop him one in the mail !
Moonfleet41 you are not wrong. He has gone to bed very excited due to your very kind offer. I’ll send over an email now - You’ve made his night, cheers pal.
Awesome work, Del!
Great tutorial video playlist in this project Del.
Thanks buddy, much appreciated!
I really like that, Del. It's evolved into a very smart and sleek item. Frankly, I would have enjoyed watching you creating it even if it had turned out to be as ugly as sin.... but it didn't , so we're quids in, my friend. Great work. Great editing. Great entertainment...... as always. Thanks! 👍
Thanks so much for your really kind comments Keith, its evolving as it goes along, i wanted to to be as small and 'tail high' as possible, but still follow the lines of the other bodywork which is quite rounded and bulbous.. i dont want ti to look detached and not match the bike. so i made lots of extra to trim off, and can then get that trimming just right once its bolted down solid.. and that will be this weeks tasks so make the struts to fit the mounting into.... wish me luck..lo Thanks again for your support my friend, its really appreciated.. D&Px
That's coming together nicely Del. Good idea with the box Ali. Awrabest from me & the clan. Al. 😉👍
Thanks brother, hope the new arrival is doing well, I bet you're not getting much time out on the bike yet !... soon be summer, Hi to Archie from us, D&Px
yeah, defo lose the ears :-)
Hi Del
Looking good mate . You still going with the original paint theme ?, or you got something else in mind ?
Ill make the final decision when i get to that point mate.. lots of options floating about.. something to make it stand out thats for sure..
I take it you are not a dancer Del, there's no ballroom on that seat unit.
Muahhaha - I like what you did there, now I agree there isn't much, but there is just enough as long as I stay off the doughnuts !
Taking shape now DB.
Silver dream machine,you remember david essex,looking good can’t wait to see the end result
Thanks James, you're the only person to have picked up on the film quote.. kindred spirits mate... thanks for your kind support aye.. take care.. Del.
Yep, good idea using the Ali frame for mounting and strength, looking better and better every vid buddy 🤘🤘
Cheers Stu, seemed like the best option, especially when I checked the price of buying aluminium box stock...!
When you were sanding that filler I was shouting "Take it all off!". My wife thought I was watching a strip show.
Nice work as always!
Nice one buddy, cheers, made me smile !
10:00 what are you spraying on?
Silver wheel paint.!
@@Moonfleet41 okay thanks. Do you remember if the blinker flasher relay was 2 or 3 pins?
@@mathiasnkristensen This was over a year ago now, can't remember other than that it was visually identical to the factory relay..
Hi Del,
I am going to send you an email about an idea I would like to share with you!
Top work on the project
OK mate, will look out for it!
great vid.
looking good
Good idea to use the sub frame . Will be much nicer once you get the sides off, when will you remove that toblerlone from the back?
Hi buddy.. im going to fit the tube i made as part of the old undertray, then fit the light down inside it.. that will give a rounded profile, and ill cut down and curve the back edge down to it so make it look less pointed and more muscular....hopefully.! got to get it solidly bolted down this week, then ill know where it sits and can fine tune the look..!
👍
cool
Dear Del boy could give me any advice about bike lift I looking to buy one .I saw one on machinemart thank you
Oscar Trentinela
He done a video series in the early days on that lift purchase and a car trailer etc.
Oscar Trentinela - Hi Oscar, have you got a link to the one you're looking at - happy to take a look at it for you mate...
