progression!

Alright alright ok so it's been about a week since i have posted the last update!  well in that week i was too busy working and then coming home and working on the bike!  this picture set is a pretty good way to show my progress.  to me it seems very slow but i realize i've only owned the bike for only 6 weeks... things are moving very quick!!!  i am getting very excited to pull this baby out in the summer and kick her over and ride all summer long!  it is coming together faster and faster each day.  i will try and take some time to update so you can check it out!

Frame!

Alright alright... finally starting to finish one of the 1 million things that are on the go here... so many things are almost done but this is the first one to be completely ready for some installation of parts and to start the final build up...  I'm very excited how well this frame paint job turned out and i think anybody who sees it in person will also enjoy it...  well off to make more sense of this giant puzzle!!!  Other parts have been sand blasted and are getting very close to getting painted as well!  keep posted as things are starting to move much faster now!

Slow progress!!!

So lately progress has been fairly slow... i am really pushing to get the engine completed and sitting on the bench all ready for an install but....  i am currently waiting for a connecting rod bearing and new valves and guides that will put me ahead of the engine game!!!  after that i have a good connection in town for a solid powdercoat of al parts... i am going to paint the frame and powder coat all the other parts.  it is going to be a slow going project but i like you all checking in!  This is some of the progress that i've made so far...   engine cases and oil pump covers all painted up and looking good and new... considering they are 72 years old!!!

Sandblasted!

Today i got a lot done on the bike... frame and forks were completely sandblasted and they are starting to look good...  noticed a few cracks in the forks and a few dents... i was able to get the cracks welded up and the dents filled in with brass...  all with the help of Craig...  he helped me out big time.  Well  i'm gonna keep truckin away with it!!!
