Coated and waiting.

Got the frame back yesterday from the powder coater. I must say I am stoked on it.

waiting on a few parts before I can re assemble the frame. Shipping cant take longer.

Stacked lights

Cut Grind Sand Clean Weld Grind Weld Grind Sand Primer Paint. and toss some beers (probably to many) and this is what you get. 

Not sure if which I'm feeling, running or brake on top. I'll probably decide last minute as I mount it to the bike.

Let there be taillights

And on the One hundred and thirty-fourth day I said yeah sure those taillights could work, and so I ordered them.

They look like they will need just a bit of work to get them looking fresh again.

I am planning on stacking them vertically over the license plate. Running on top.

Time for powder

What a start to a monday, up before the sun and a nice cool ride though brooklyn to my garage. Did some last minute cleaning, before Mr.Matt "always on time, never on time" landman showed up to help me haul the frame over to NuMetal. Its about to get a super sexy deep red coat. 

Progress is being made!

Oil pump

fuck this engine is heavy. 

I spent my sunday pulling off the oil pump and peeling 30+year old gasket off the pump. I wont even say how long that took. But there are new seals on the oil pump so that should be good, whenever I get oil running though this thing again.
