That Yamaha Motobike from the '70's brings back a lot of memories. I knew several kids that had them. I myself had one of the AMF "Evil Knievel" bikes


As BMX Bikes became more popular I ended up stripping everything down to the bare frame and painting it red and adding mag wheels.     To make matters worse about 10 years ago when I was back home picking up stuff I had stored - I hauled that box of Dress Up Goodies to the Dump.  - I know , I know I could of sold them and bought Models..

Now days I ride either one of these bikes

Hi Bill,
Hope things have been going well for you lately. I sure enjoyed this Fantastic series on the Merc. and have learned a lot. Hopefully by dredging this up out of the depths you may be Motivated to blow the dust off the kit and Wow us some More.

I see you live in BC. I have forgotten what they call across the border, here in the states it is called "Pledge With Future Shine". Basically clear lacquer for kitchen floors, brush some on where your decal needs to go and use it for adhesion. It will dry shiny so you will need to spray a dull coat over it also.
I use this method for tiny little decals and also P/E emblems on painted surfaces.

oldscool - The suspension is out of the box. All I did was cover the top frame with some thin styrene.

Brian - I just used a # 76 drill bit to drill the distributor.

Thanks to everyone who commented and looked , PROSTOCKHEMI Rocks ! That was one of the sites that motivated me back to wanting to build Pro Stocks.

I have been getting the paint on but I blew it on the last color. I forgot to go back and burnish down the masking tape and had a few bleeders. (Sail panels and cowl grill)

Roger maybe there is a gremlin with the Duster

Anyway I am trying to decide whether to touch up the bleed troughs or put it in the stripper bath and try again.




Comments and suggestions always welcome - a guy has to learn somehow

Blake the booth is made by paasche , the fan is mounted on the back. It is a nice booth for under $200.00 and suits my needs well. The short run of piping also really increases the draw of air.
