Default Re: Wa 500 Rebuild

Thank you!

Id actually be open to suggestions for details to add...I guess i do have a few things id like to do...Maybe fenders for the rear. I may rebuild the steps and platforms, these are falling apart. Replacing the blue glass with clear lexan and make a new counter weight from a solid steel block...Oh want to make a new radiator grill, maybe something from black screen..? Want a quick release too! But havent found any info yet on how to make one of those. Make a hub cap with a new wheel face which is more scale looking...but i dont think our indexing chuck for the mill is any good..havent looked at it in years. We have 10 cnc turret lathes that could do that but they are all running high production jobs and rarely have any open time. I may have to draw something up and just tell the set up guy next time to" make this".. Oh and gonna print out a driver..too bad i dont have a scanner, Id scan myself and make ME the driver.
