so you need high heat for 60 minutes for the protector? As much as I trust the product, I'm iffy using high heat and even for x1 hour on anything.

Its not fair to take a dump on the bike just because you saw one video of the forks failing, you can find a set of good used replacement forks for $50 dollars. The deadeye is a very good single speed for the price. I cant speak for anyone else but when I do get a new complete bike I almost immediately start upgrading it with aftermarket components and by the time its all said and done the frame is usually the only original thing left on there.

Great video! I have a question...when you apply your overlays of neon or metallic before lamination, is there a certain tape or method you use to be sure the print isnt damaged by transfer tape or etc? I've never done an overlay like that and new to the gig. Thanks!
@TJPaul2 жыл бұрын
I use the same soap and water mixture from this installation to install neon overlays. For holographics, I use a dry method. Expose the corners of the overlay to line up the graphic with the print. The overlay almost never matches the print exactly. I don't know exactly why, but do your best to get it as close as you can. With the dry method, put a tape hinge in the middle after lining up the graphic. Peel half the graphic back to the tape hinge, remove the backing paper by cutting it in half and install the first half of the graphic. Remove the tape and repeat with the other half. That's it, more or less, as best I can explain without just showing.

Probably the wickedest Pro Stock car ever built in comparison to the competition at the time. As much as I loved the Motown Missile and crew, (big Don Carlton fan) When it came to Wally’s Nobody could touch Ronnie, Buddy and Jake….and then throw Herb in for good measure. I’m a diehard Mopar fan, Cuda’s Chargers, Challangers, Dusters and Demons. So many great teams, besides the aforementioned. Billy the Kid, Akron Arlen, Don Grotheer, Butch Leal, Dick Landry, Bill Bagshaw and Reid Whisnat…apologies to anyone I’ve missed. But they were just too good for the NHRA…Wally and company penalized them and gave a big advantage to the Grump and company. No disrespect to Bill, choosing to run that small block Vega was a brilliant idea, But the NHRA effectively killed the Mopars. Thanks for the post, glad to know that historical treasure was saved for posterity. But more importantly to me, Thank You for making me remember all those great racers and teams and the fantastic cars Dodge and Plymouth gave us to watch race. 👍🏻❤️😎

One of my all-time favorite early Pro Stockers, and I was a Chevy guy! They were so dialed in, they'd arrive at the track, make a test pass, and wait for Eliminations. They were so relaxed many competitors said that was an indication that they were cheating; they weren't, they were THAT GOOD! Ted Spehar told me once that just for burps & giggles, he screwed on clear plexi discs to his rims, just to mess with his competition's heads. This is when Pro Stock was fun and GREAT.

Being from Toronto, I remember this car. Then called "Rebound" campaigned by Beatty & Woods (Machine shop who are still in business) at Cayuga Dragway. I'm a friend of Henry Sega (Sega Speed Industries) as shown on the rear fenders of the car and also remember the car at his shop on occasion. It's Motown Missile heritage was known and I marvelled at it's custom touches. I always wondered why Henry held onto the original clutch pedal from the car was was glad that you fellows have it now in the restored car.
