weell let's see, your on your first, this morning was hangover. So I call it 6:30 tonight you will either throw up or pass out, on another note I forgot to ask you if you needed hardware for the plate I gave ya, I have a funky setup using a bolt with the head cut off a turnbuckle and another bolt on the end that is locktited together and is long enough to reach in a bolt to the top of the filter box.
Drink on for me, I have to work....

Also after you put down a layer of glass and resin go behind it with one of those .97cent throw away paint brushes to pat all the air bubbles out with, not sure how much you searched on it....

I'm guessing noon. Cabbage doesn't sit well with beer.

let's see... 7 am + guiness..(um,can I assume you can whip down..let's say....5 or 6 an hour...

?? ) so,that will be ...hammerd at 10:45 am... then still drinks 2 more,just to find out that those where just off the limit...so passing out without throwing up I'd say......wakes up on random weird location(toilet floor,hallway,front lawn..) let's say at 3:42 pm...THEN feels pretty sick already but tuffs it out till 4:03 pm when the belly say's "#$%* you,here you got it back..."

so,my bet is at 4:03 pm .....

As soon as you fell the urge, that is when it will happen, so my money is on when you throw up.

Inkscars · « **Reply #231 on:** March 17, 2009, 05:16:32 PM »

Ok... well so far so good. I don't know how much I've drank today. I haven't thrown up. Thank god for auto correcting text or this bulletin may not be possible. Haha. Im exaggerating. I stopped drinking at about 2. I may go back for seconds. Im not sure. No pictures. Sorry. I decided that I didn't want a repeat of last year.

What'd you do this year spikey? Im sitting on my old motorcycle seat in front of garage daydreaming about my bike...staring at it....is that normal?

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #234 on:** March 17, 2009, 06:33:41 PM »

I have a lamp outside that shines on my bike all night, just so I can stand at the back door and stare at it whenever I want.

......be careful bro!!!!!!

Hush · « **Reply #240 on:** March 17, 2009, 11:57:00 PM »

As soon as you get to a Maccers for a greasy burger, that normally works for my kids.

Staring at your bike lovingly is normal, get used to it.

mrbreeze · « **Reply #241 on:** March 18, 2009, 12:03:03 AM »

Staring at it in various forms of drunkiness/sobriety is how it all comes together!!!!.......Didn't ya know that?

luder · « **Reply #242 on:** March 18, 2009, 06:40:39 AM »

Does that mean that I won

....luder quessed it....

Inkscars · « **Reply #243 on:** March 19, 2009, 05:08:50 AM »

That's true luder. You were the first to guess that I wouldn't throw up. So, I guess that means, YOU WIN!!!

I did absolutely nothing yesterday, it was kinda yucky out. Well i got up and took a shower, and went to the grocery store at like 6 pm. but other than that, I didn't do anything.

luder · « **Reply #244 on:** March 19, 2009, 07:24:05 AM »

Hey Im in Wisconsin(as in beer) I would trade you(maybe a bottle of spotted cow) and thats a real WI micro brewery beer believe it or not...luder

Frankenkit · « **Reply #245 on:** March 19, 2009, 09:15:46 AM »

leinenkugel? is that really a WI microbrew? ...does Point count as a microbrewery?

Ok, ladies and gentleman,
I've decided to trash my first attempt at the glass. Not because it couldn't be salvaged, but because I'm having trouble working with it, and I think if I start completely over, I'll have better luck than cussing at the current mess. Hopefully I've got enough dough to go buy what I need in order to do this wed, cause I'm off, but if not I will have to wait until this saturday or sunday. Mind you, this is an attempt to make what I want, custom, and not spend $120-200 smackers. From what I hear, the experience is "priceless"

First attempt:
Supplies & cost:
Blue tape - $0
Chicken wire - $8.50
Resin - $14.00
Glass mat - $6.95
Paint brush - $2.47
Gloves - $3.50
Total: $35.42
Second attempt, estimate of supplies and cost:
Leftover blue tape, resin, hardner, plastic and mat.
Aluminum tape - $6.99
3- 2" paintbrushes - $6.00
3 pairs gloves - $4.50
Releasing wax - $7.00
Total: $24.99
Total between both attempts: $60.41
Total money saved? $89.59 because we all know my time is WORTHLESS.
Pics as soon as I start. Wish me luck. I'm going into a second attempt with the scorn of defeat, and the taste for success.

Laying up Fiber Glass is an art form, and like all great art forms, it's tedious, frustrating, messy, and rarely bares the fruit you originally envisioned! However, When you finally get it to that perfect shape... it looks "glorious"!

I've been playing with FG for awhile now and out of several attempts, I've had several failures. I'm just trying to encourage you to not give up. It'll be worth it in the end.

You might try building the seat in foam. Make it look exactly how you want it to and then lay the fiberglass on that. then remove the foam and finish the outside.

Inkscars · « **Reply #249 on:** March 23, 2009, 10:41:21 AM »

I already had it out of foam. hehe. ARG!

Don't worry folks, I'm trying here. this and a carb-synch are the only things between me and raising hell!
