My vintage bc-1000 makeover

#1
So I have stripped and painted my bonanza for the 2nd time in less that 6 months..lol!!! I decided that I am going to make her a "theme" mini... I am a DIEHARD Oakland Raiders Fan so what better theme than that!!! Silver and Black Baby!!!!! the pics are my "rough draft" and will add the silver fenders and prolly paint the tank silver...I know the Raiders "suck" as the rest of the football world would agree.... BUT 11 losing seasons inna row and i STILL bleed silver and black!~! RAIDER NATION TILL I DIE!!! lol anyway...turned my post into a raider thing it looks like... sorry bout that!! I also added a filter and adaptor along with a 140 emulsion tube and a .9mm jet... JESUS SHE FLYS!!!!!! i can see why they say to get the jet/tube and filter together....the jet/tube alone was giving me trouble but once i got the filter kit in .... BANG ZOOOOOOOM I WAS GONE!!!! thanks for puttin up with my raider fan outburst gang!!:scooter::scooter::scooter:

Sounds like a cool project. I'm in the process of putting a 1000 together also. Just finished painting.
Keep us posted

I may start a thread on it today if I get a chance... I have been taking pictures as I go along though. I did think about converting his one ... picked up an extra swing arm, but I didn't want to hack on an old frame ya know.
I also have a 1300 I'm in the process of building.. Nothing like trying to do 2 at a time. :thumbsup:
