I have to say, that those of you without kids, or at least kids big enough to have their own interests, you have it easy. Part if why this takes so much time is because when I am in the garage, I have at least two of my children in there, 5 and 2 years old, and they are always underfoot.
Last night I painted the frame, and today I painted more parts, like the fender, fender braces, motor brackets, etc. Its all spray paint because, let's face it, I started this 8 or 9 years ago and right now I just want it done. Plus, I have no budget.
Once everything was painted and reassembled, I had to pick which engine I wanted to put in. One has a missing points cover and the point plate doesn't look so good, but it has carb boots and the plugs are still in the head. The other has a points cover and no plugs in the head. I figure points are easier to replace than unsticking an engine, so I went with the first one. Once I got it in the frame, and scratching my paint in the process, I slipped a Kickstart lever on and kicked it over just to be sure. I suppose I could have hooked up a battery to the starter, but I didn't think of that then. Here it is with a tank and seat, its a bit of a stretch for me to reach the bars.
