Nice. I have an '81 Schwinn cruiser all original too.View attachment 1006413 Gonna clean up Mrs LR2’s original 81’ Schwinn spitfire , getting as much rust off as possible but keeping the patina
I am interested in doing this same thing. Are you going to get rid of the 3/4 ton suspension? I have started to look into doing that.Couldn't find a reasonable priced Chevy C10 shortbed so I am converting a C20 longbed into a "Custom Shortbed."
Bought on 4/20 (Date not intentional but fitting)

I will let you know it a year. However, with it encapsulated in Epoxy and not directly on the sun, I would not think oxygen would be allowed to contract and expand.Having poured plenty of wire reels tops in my prime (With varying long term success) --- how do you mitigate expansion and contraction in a humid outdoor environment ?
Not tile, just the backside of laminate flooring used to form the mold.... hard to tell from the photos but because of the darkness of the wood how about cream coler like the tile???..:
Got the Elephant motor fitted up in the Cole I’m restoring...

View attachment 1009173 View attachment 1009175 View attachment 1009177 Ok, check out the outdoor bbq countertop pics using reclaimed wood. The pics without the resin are much lighter. With that being said, I have listed 4 powders for possible joint fillers. I was originally going with black because of the lighter wood. However, since the darkening of the wood, I was thinking about gold or blue. Input Please.
It looked awesome after the resin was poured on it. Easy to work with but it sucked up the epoxy because of all of the cracks and splits.How did you like working with the reclaimed wood?
This shot looks like a late 80's Car Craft cover shoot, If I was your neighbor I would be the biggest pest... just looking out my window until the cool shit starts rolling out and then gawking all over it. Stunning!!!Got the Elephant motor fitted up in the Cole I’m restoring...
