The return of big yellow

[chevynut]

Nice work!

[MP&C]

Well, only one more piece to make for the bus, we need a cap to join together two pieces of rub rail....



Bent up some 18 ga on the Baileigh magnetic brake...





Then for the highly technical stuff, bent the rest using vise grips to clamp it in place and a dead blow to incrementally tap the ears around...





Continued to use the hammer to tap it around, then tightened up the radius on this die/post dolly





We'll get some paint on the bus parts tomorrow..

Got some paint on the bus parts tonight....









For the hardware, we media blast the heads and then paint....

[MP&C]

The other night while spraying parts, I made a couple trips over to the bus location with the spray gun... in between coats, to get some primer on the bare steel we put in... SPI epoxy on the structural components..



.....and some epoxy AND yellow added to the nice scraped up lower corner..



Coming together...



Rivets were media blasted and urethane only, just like the screws. This shows how well the paint holds up to the installation "abuse"...



Done!
