6G72 Crank Lamp

[Greg E]

Sprayed and baked the black metallic this afternoon!



Unfortunately the pic doesn't do the powder any justice. It's truly an awesome looking color in person!

Picked these up some time ago to pad the flywheel from scratching up the table. I wanted black but they didn't have any...



The larger ones didn't fit so I had to use the 38mm ones.

Assembly underway...



All finished!



Lowes didn't have a great selection of lamp shades, so I just used one I had sitting around the house for now. I'll spend the next few days shopping for one. Probably get a really large one too since the medium size seems puny compared to the huge crank.

Awesome!

Love it. The only thing I would of done different would be to do the chrome first like the engine, then mask off the journals and then do the black. Not taking anything away from what you did though. Its just awesome and I really like the way the engine table came out.

I was originally going to do it that way but there's no good way to remove the masking tape after spraying the powder without disturbing it. The journals are too small and the space is too tight.

OH! I forgot to mention. The motor came out of a green 1G stealth just like the model sitting in front of the lamp.

I like!
You need to be creative with the lamp shade to really finish it off.
If you could fit together 3 or 4 of them it would be a good idea for a floor lamp as well.

You just gave me a great idea for the cams! I can weld a couple of them to the crank. It would look badass! Thanks granny!

Wow this look freaking amazing!! This a cast crank? Lol!

[IPD]

get a professional to do an HDR pic of your 3/s & silkscreen it onto fabric. then have an upholstery shop make a lampshade out of it.

p.s.

2nd idea:

get a bunch of stickers from our primary 3/s shop sponsors and create a "nascar-style" lapshade.

Nothing you didn't already think of.
