Looney Bird/Pizzacam Restoration!

Hi everyone, I have recently purchased a Looney Bird/Pizzacam mech from one of my friends and I'm planning to slowly restore it. I'm temporarily using a Mitzi head mech on it because I don't have a Looney head or rod... and here's a picture for now:

LOL, for some reasons I always imagine Looney Bird/Pizzacam mechs as small, but even their mechs are pretty big. I imagine that trash can in the back is tall.
Best of luck with the restoration! :) Do you know if he's gonna be Looney Bird first, or Pizzacam? :looneybird:

Hey guys, I'm giving y'all a new update on my Looney Bird/Pizzacam restoration topic! Sorry I haven't been that active on this topic. It is 8/16/17 and I've gotten a bit of progress done over the past few months!
*****
First off, I've removed the pigtail cylinders in June and I've been starting to clean them! They're covered in grease from the owner before me.

Cylinders #1:

*****
Next, me and my Dad designed a PVC pole for him, which works great! To mount the head, we used bolts and then added zip ties for extra security!
(Don't mind the crappy ping pong ball eyes...he won't have those in the final product!)

Looney Bird/Pizzacam:

*****
Getting new cylinders for him in a month or so! Probably going to reuse the pigtail cylinders as the eye cylinders. Currently using basically dial-up internet while making this post, so no up close video. Took 15 minutes to upload those 2 photos as-is...!
(If any photos don't work, just let me know! :) )

Thanks so much! Hopefully I can get him an actual Looney head, because this Mitzi one sucks! Over-used and original from Ingram CEC. Then he won't need all those nasty zip ties!! :looneybird: :pizzacam:

Hey guys! New update! the Mac Valves arrived unexpectedly early... no idea why, but it makes it easier on me! I documented all the unboxings of what I got and all that for my YouTube and that will be uploaded shortly. So today I basically figured out that I bought the WRONG Mac Valves! I bought the mini ones! They'll work too, but this just proves that ordering online can always be an issue. After I figured out that I bought the wrong ones, I decided to use them anyways. I basically cannibalized the other valve banks just for my main one. The extras can still be used, but I must buy more fittings for them first.

Finished Valve Bank:

More updates soon!
