So for now mechanically, I removed the sprocket and release the chain, screws on the cover were seized and try with punch screwdriver and I almost #$%*ed the philips socket, but after putting release all and using a good manual screwdriver I was good.
I've also put the front end in place cause, finally my machinist Can't do me the job, so I send my drawings to other machinists, but I've no chance at all, no quote, not nothing...
Next will  be removed the motor,

What are you using for clean it and repaint it ?

going forward with assemblies, couldnt machined my top trees I've designed, so ended to order one at Cognito (OG). Since I've my daughter, don't work a lot on it, I give it to a shop to assemble it and put in order to work with my new CR Carbs. Soon at home to do the electric part, and custom some other parts.

 It's good to see you back at it.
No matter how many times you paint over a shadow, it's still there.

Love a long term project.
Life gets in the way. But it's always good to keep on it even if it's slow progress.
