Re: Wa 500 Rebuild
Thanks to Lil Giants suggestion and my oversight, I made a new pump mount. Also started on the cab but didnt get too far before my welder died. So it will be a few weeks until i can get anymore body work done until the welder is fixed. In the meantime i got some parts powder coated and a few other things done.
Paint cleaned off cylinders
Made a mount for the articulating cylinders.
Parts just out of the tumbler
Chasing threads. I find this the cleanest way to deal with threads when powdercoating. Larger holes are easily plugged.
And partially assembled to get an idea of what its gonna look like. I changed the direction and am heading towards a later WA500 look with these colors, cab and the rear hood will be slanted in the rear instead of straight back.
The yellow is actually closer to the 1:1 picture than it looks here.
