Metallica (Pro)
Stern, 2013Always thought the pro could use a hammer. Then pinsider spinny-vinny made a sweet skull hammer so thought here's my chance. So started with the handle 3/4 dowling and some cheap twine. Stain it then super glued the twine. Also used my lighter to burn all the losse strands.
So onto the bracket you will have to remove the wire form above the snake. Also the plastics around the snake and captive ball. Then I trace the captive ball plastic onto my metal. Make sure you don't cover the window to the captive balls. Then leave 3 inches in both directions. Then rough cut it with snips. Was going to go with a two post on a pin system. Thought I could make it move with a wire behind the captive ball switch. Well gave up on that at this time.
So since the two post system looks like the biggest eye sore ever. I when with a one post cradle system using the same pc. Also noticed there is a flasher under the metal bracket so had to hollow out the inside. Then Hammer sanded grinded it with the dremel this probably took the longest since i started with such rough cuts. Then 5 coats of Crome paint.
Then I mounted the hammer. put the plastics in place then slide the bracket under the plastics and onto the post. With the one back screw and the mount inbetween the snake and the plastics it don't move at all. Not like my original plan but this thing looks sweet.
Quoted from spinny-vinny:Nice work! Looks good
Thanks man couldn't have done it with out you. Reallly I did nothing compared to you.
