Its been too long since i posted. Work began to get busy and the garage was put on the back burner. I will post pictures once the garage is cleaned up a bit more and organized, and i shall load the pictures from the tear down.
As it stands, i have a rolling frame, the engine is out and still intact. The carbs have been dipped and cleaned, most of the parts have been buffed and polished, my goal is to get the as close to a mirror shine as possible, so we'll see how that goes, 3 of the four carb bodies are near a mirror finish, but not perfect. Once i finish planning out what i want to do with the front a rear suspension, i will sandblast and re powder the frame.
My engine is unfortunately poorly painted black, which will all need to be stripped, polished and coated.
First line of work is to finish polishing the carbs, rebuild them and set aside, then i'll crack into the engine.
unfortunately i lost my build partner, sheik, for the next six months or so, who had to return to his hometown for personal reasons.
Expect a picture update within the next 24 hours. Its vacation time, which means its bike time. i want to try as hard as i can to have it finished by the next riding season.
