I listed this Bultaco Mercurio tank a few months ago in bare metal. I thought that the small hammer dents leftover from the craftsman who made it were cool, but it didn't sell. I spend a lot of time filling the dents and grooves and allowing the filler material to shrink before I started painting. I primered and sanded three times before starting with the paint. I laid down one layer and waited three days before sanding. I repeated the process 12 times before I switched to 600 grit sandpaper and then to rubbing compound. 


Every photo becomes a self-portrait because of the highly polished surface. There is no clear coat. What you see is polished paint. It isn't perfect. The filler neck is rough, but with the cap on no one will notice. I included the old naked tank photos for reference. See last 4 photos. There was a small dent in the right front that I filled. 

There are very few Bultaco Mercurio tanks available and even fewer that look this good.

This tank will be carefully packaged and insured.

GM's Ed Welburn walks Jay Leno through the Elmiraj concept's design [w/Video]

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

General Motors' vice president Global Design Ed Welburn stars in the latest of the 'Jay Leno's Garage' YouTube series, running the talk-show host through some of the new Cadillac Elmiraj concept's design features and what it means for the brand's future. We get a look at all the classic Cadillac design cues such as the vertical headlamps and tail lamps as well as the central hard crease that Welburn says is "important in every Cadillac". Leno and Welburn then move onto the Elmiraj's features, such as the large doors' integrated handles and the slimmer A-pillars before a more in-depth look at one of the concept's most striking features – the grille.

Toyota: Fixes are working on recalled vehicles

Tue, 09 Mar 2010

Toyota maintains that the fixes being made to correct unintended acceleration in millions of recalled vehicles are sufficient. But at a press event Monday, company officials said they are willing to bring in as many independent researchers as needed to resolve the issue once and for all. “We don't think there is a ghost issue out there,” said Kristen Tabar, general manager of electronic systems at the Toyota Technical Center in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

The Tesla Model S P85D – 0-60mph in 3.2 seconds We knew Elon Musk was planning on delivering a four-wheel-drive Tesla Model S, and now we know the Tesla Model D Musk alluded to is exactly that – a dual motor Model S. But it gets more interesting. It gets more interesting because Tesla has come up with more than one 4WD Model S, with the Model S 60D and 85D getting a 188bhp motor on both front and rear axles, with the 60D getting to 62mph in 5.7 seconds with a range of 225 miles and the 85D getting to 60mph in 5.2 seconds with a range of 295 miles.
