I usually do to, just to many different things I wanted to finish at that all happened at the same time.

After cleaning up most of today (it was 90 and humid outside so this was the time to do it).

Now it looks like this.

WOW! It's hard to believe that's the same table ...Your wife must be a patient lady

Talk about a mess Giant....I was going to apply my mud guards....guess what...can't find the material I was going to use...I know I put it somewhere safe..just don't know where that safe spot is ...I'm sure it will pop up sooner or later...but for now...I'm going to take a page from your playbook and use a tube

Consider my self lucky to have had 7 good years with my wife long ago before we divorced. The advantage is I can do whatever I want wherever I want, whenever I want.

Had that happen to me many times. In fact I've tucked the piece of inner tube I have away before and had to hunt all over to find it so now I keep it in my parts ready rack (an old 3 drawer drop down door desk chest) so I will always know where it is.

I knew I was close to putting the flaps on...had the material next to my bike....must have moved to to where I could work with it...but I couldn't find it lol....luckily I have a lot of bicycle tubes...took the thinnest one...the thing that worked out great was...it had been sitting for so long flattened ...it had developed that bend needed for the side...went on pretty easy once I took off enough plastic from the original mold

Glad to hear you finished them. Once the plastic is thinned down they do go on easy and they do look good don't they compared to the molded in ones.

Yup...all I'm trying to work out now is the markings...finished the fenders and touching up some of the problem areas...so other than the "v"s she's pretty much done

I'm kinda getting into the uniqueness of your tank Unit.

Looking forward to seeing this in its finished form.

Might try some mock ups first...just to see how it will look...the Saunder's markings will be there...just unsure whether or not to include the victory "v" mark on it ....that and what color to make that v

You mean the chevrons? Those are identification markers. Sorta like IFF. Usually denotes wot company it is.
