TOPIC: skips horns are finished

i just got back to work on skips horns,i had to get brass screws and i am cutting them down to leangth ,he wanted purple so he got purple,i think they will look great with the brass screws,well back out to the garage to finish them up,sorry it took this long skip!before after

That is purple.

yeah,but i bet that color is going to look good with the chrome bugles and brass screws,john

John you are so right. That is going to be a great combo. They look awesome so far, can't wait to see the final product. I can only hope my Fat Fifty cover comes out that good when it comes time to paint it.

Bob

bob im sure your cover will come out great,this paint is an anodized metalic engine paint,cool stuff,john

poor skip has waited a long time for these ,i can blame my wife for making me build a front porch and then also blew my back out,but really ,i am sorry skip,but here they are im sending them out on tuesday,i hope you like them.
the brass screws were too soft,so i bought a tap and redid the threads then put on brass washers,then bought stainless screws,and put them in.
i finaly found a place localy that sells them short enough,"fastnal",
i didnt even know there was a store close by,i looked everywhere,then found them there.by the way these pics are closer to the real color then the top pic,a little darker,john

John, as I said on the other thread, simply OUTSTANDING.

Bob

thanks bob,i like them,but havent heard from skip,i even emailed him,i hope all is well with him,john

just got home from long day at work, 12hrs. the horns look just great. they will look great on the boat. you have done a great job on them. jody says she loves them and can't wait to see them. don't worry about taking so long to complete them. with all the flooding around here I may not be able to use the boat until the fall. Thankyou very much for the beautiful job, Jody & Skip.

skip,im glad you both like them,it was a complete pleasure to do them for you both,ill send them out tuesday.
and hi jody its nice to meet you,skips a great guy,john

They look fantastic John, nice work! (Like there was ever any doubt!?)

thanks mark,i did them twice,lol,at least the tops of them,i scratched them when i was trying to put in the brass screws,flat slotted screwdriver slipped,so i striped them and repainted them,and got some new stainless screws,lol,john
