Thank you, sometimes I obsess about things but they usually work out. One thing I’ve been worrying about (this is how bad it is) is the engine paint. 73 Z1 engines are black with the edges of the fins silver. So I’m thinking, I paint the engine with an appropriate black engine paint (how glossy or not glossy?) and after a good paint job I just carefully abrade paint off the edge of the fins? My mind says that’s bad, it leaves that edge open to corrosion which will go under the paint and ruin it. So do I seal the edge with clear to slow that down?
See what I mean?
It’s a disease.
Anyway, I’m switching the back of the garage over from mostly woodwork back to bike work. I hope to go pick it up this week. The garage is two cars wide by two deep about 1100 sq ft., the back half is where my tools and stuff are, I’m usually doing woodwork but I set it up a little differently for bike work. I may try zinc plating again to see if I can get better.
Down the rabbit hole I go. Go figure I found a 73 Z1 frame number 01886 engine 01784, pretty low numbers, here on Maui of all places.
