I decided to try and adapt a spare dress cowl to improve the Frankenmower's appearance a bit. Some plastic had to be cut on the rear to clear the Mustang petrol tank on there as the petrol tank from this dress cowl won't go on this base. A tiny corner needed cutting off the right hand edge as well to clear the VC's high arch. I don't know why a previous owner had to cut off so much of the old dress cowl which was the same as this. It looks much better now. I just need to fix some play where the LH handlebar stem meets the body as the catcher doesn't sit right as a result of the drooping bar.
Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
Yeah, won't pay SFA to all the mine workers he ripped off, but will happily p*ss millions up against a wall on ad campaigns saying how bad the WA government is.
For eastern states readers, at least every 10-20 minutes he has an ad on both radio and TV saying various crap about 'Mark McGowans Cover up', and how McGowan is worse than Nixon.
I haven't been listening to the radio as much because he annoys me that much - as he is on 6PR (3aw talkback equivalent) and 6IX (60s, 70s & 80s). I put on ABC radio National for the news, and in the car I went and bought a 4 disc Fleetwood Mac box set - so I am fine
