Couldnt take the back wheel out, manual just kept telling me to pull it out but the bike wasnt cooperating.  Primed it like 5 coats of rustoleum paint.

Ok there so were caught up so far.  Most of the body parts have been cleaned, sanded, recleaned, primed, painted and are sitting around waiting for me to paint the frame.  I should take pics of the parts now, but I'll wait till my new stainless steel bolts come in to remount everything.  Im afraid to even look at the rear tire, but pretty so I'll get to it.  very very slowly swapping out the little things like o-rings, bearings, gaskets, AND RUSTED/STRIPPED BOLTS.   >:(

I love some budget builds.   Amazing what a little elbow grease does
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.
