The rustoleum brown paint turned out to be slow drying. So my progress came to a screeching halt.

Shouldn't be a big problem, your budding chain saw killer still has a while to Halloween . . .

 

[Spanky]

Will you paint the edges of the saw blade black to resemble a chain?

 

[DonnyRay]

The answer is maybe. Here's what i have so far : Painting the area black would make the chainsaw look better. Hmmmmmmm.

You can't forget the RED paint!!

My 5 year old nephew wants to apply the red paint. Here's some more photos : Hey Spanky , thanks for the black paint idea. I used a gun metal gray instead. The saw looks a whole lot better now. HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY.

Thanks everyone for your interest in & support of my chainsaw project. Now i'm back on my original project , " KREEPY THANGS ". I recessed the door striker plate , glassed it into the door well & will drill 6 holes in the striker plate tomorrow ( 10-11-20 ). Stay tuned......

That's really great!

 

[DonnyRay]

Thanks for your compliment Choppinczech.

Some more progress photos : See how thick the fiberglass is on the door well . Great gluing surfaces. I included a photo of a stock door. The stock door came with the BIG BOY body. The door well in the photos was purchased as a kit from Ron Pope Motorsports. I wanted to show the widened door well.

The corner of the door well seems to be too high for the door. The corner of the door was below the top edge of the door well. So ; i removed a piece of the door well & now i'm putting everything back together again. After i'm finished , i'll test fit the door. I'm using 5 minute epoxy glue. The glue seems to be holding. After all the pieces are glued , i'll flip the door over & glass the backside. I plan to fill the pie cut pieces with kitty hair ( Bondo product ).

What do you guys think about this ? A front spring perch cover / fog lights ? It's definitely KREEPY. It's made of fiberglass & is manufactured by a company in Cypress.

This pair of skull faces ( also made of fiberglass ) was shipped on Oct 3 2020 from Morocco. They look like they are coming out of the wall ( just like in some scary movies ).

You have to be the most dedicated, persevering builder I've run across ever, hardly ever a day goes by that you don't have something new going on. . . . I envy your energy level

More relevantly, . . . . I like the Cypress one . . . . would be cool if you could get it big enough to make a grill shell with it.

Only 14 more days to Halloween, you best hurry for the first ride that night. That would be only fitting.

 

[DonnyRay]

Thanks for all the enthusiastic comments from my fellow forum members. My project will NOT be ready for Halloween ( sob ! sob ! ). I'm still working on the door well & the striker plate. I did a good job on positioning the striker plate.
