Shaun's Pan

Started mocking up the new shifter



and mocking up the whole thing to get the best position for tank, im using a sporty peanut tank with most of the tunnel removed





Got some brakleen and jif onto the white walls too

Looking good Shaun, I dig that shifter dude.

New seat turned up this morning, decided to get a black seat, Gator skin. came with 3" hairpins and bracket

thats one cool seat... you'll be glad it dont bite then!

it doesnt quite match my snake skin boots tho

nice pan!

thanks man

Got the "wicked" polish out again and took to the rear wheel, its not mint, there is too much of the chrome already coming off but there was heaps of grime on it so i set aside a couple of hrs, cranked up the Slayer and went to town. heres some before and after pics.






After

Got the new seat on too

far out looks like a different wheel i bet that was more than a couple ov hours
the seat is cool also better than a plain black number

yeah i like those alligator ones

yeah.. looking sharp.
apparently the yanks dont zink, copper or something what ever under their chrome.. so it wears like that, re chrome here and its heaps better lasting..

i use steelo soap pads on chrome like that and it makes quick work..

well done, its coming along real well.

so wats your plan for the exhaust gonna run the one that came with it or make a newie?

wouldnt mind changing it, i quite like the upsweep systems, maybe the cocktail muff's on the ends. or go real obnoxious short little fukrs. im open to all sugestions on the way too

iwas thinking ov the pic you sent me awhile ago really short sorta burn ya leg hairs nasty and v loud would be a good direction and easy to make

Mate that polish is the shit alright. That seat looks sweet too.

Finally got started on the wiring, made a start button out of an old maglite that i had. Brought a little plastic box thing from Jaycar to hide the fuses and relay's, going to mount that under the trans.

Cut it out mate. Your making this look too easy.

lookin sweet mate me thinks i need one ov those boxes but its hard gettin out at the mo
keep it up

Yeah lucky its an old pan, not many wires to find homes for, just need a couple more things before i can fire it. does anyone know where to get cloth style wire conduit? or tape

Got me one of those DOT biltwell lids in flat copper from Lowbrow. Had a couple of stickers a poster and a little mag in with it.

Got all the wiring finished up tonight, all the things that are suposed to work, work so far. got tail light. head light ,high beam and speedo back light cant test the brake light untill my brake lines arrive from the states, i got a pressure switch banjo bolt like pauls sporty. start button turns the engine over. just need to wait for Gerald to finish up the tank and i can fire it up. youtube vid will follow shortly after.

Gashed up a fuel tank and fired the old girl, even the charging system works. still waiting on the fuel tank and some brake lines from the US.
enjoy
