What the hell?

Ok, so what happened? A year went by and no posts, no progress on the bike, everyone was just left hangin, in suspense I'm sure too... No? well that makes sense; but we are back at it and this time have the means to finish it.

So what has changed? Well I am living in a house now and have a garage so I have access to all my tools and a work space without having to leave the home. Also, I just took out a small loan to buy some of the necessary items that I will need to complete the bike. I have made contact with Ian Wright with Classic Race Replicas in the UK and will be ordering body parts soon. I have also spoke with Scott Moore of Fast Finish Painting and have some idea of what direction and cost I will be looking at for the paint

The fuel tank never was completed, the ability to get all of that rust out using the acid etching and BB media method was a bust. But I have a plan, I'm going to try the electolysis method. I originally did'nt want to, but it will make for a better paint job if I just paint the whole bike, tank included.

Scott at FFP said it will make for a much better paint job if I use new plastic vs. trying to put new paint on repaired 24 year old plaastic, and so I will be ordering new upper and lower cowls and a new windscreen from Ian along with a complete new decal set.

So, again a plan is in place, let's see what happens...........
