Thanks Brady I might give that a try.

Got some disappointing new for you guys. Today I splurged on the mustang and bought 800 buck of parts I didn't neglect the cb though bought all the gaskets and seals to do the engine also bought the seals for the forks need to buy a puller for the alternator and can begin cleaning and prepping the engine for powder

 See ya on the flippity flip!!!!

TIME FOR A UPDATE LADS

So these last two weeks have been kinda slow going between tests, work, and driving 13 hours for a funeral I haven't got much done. . . BUT!! I did get some parts ordered and some parts in. . . . have a look see!!

Engine Gaskets came in. . .

I opted for the cheaper ones so sealer will be a must. . . 

Front wheel,disc,axle, and speedo drive also in
couldn't resist mocking it up!!!!

And yeah I realize I put the wheel and forks in wrong so excited lol

Got some work done on the frame as well still need to order a hoop,make the seat,and mock up the bars and rear sets before I can send it to powder!


Still some grinding to do. . .


And some splurgage on the mustang


haha i kind of feel obligated to let you guys know if my money "accidentally"goes to another project lol

All in all still not much done lol but that's okay still got a couple of months to meet my deadline. Oh my cases came apart a while back but the alternator rotor is holding them together?? Guess I have to get a puller even though I have seen it done without taking the rotor off.

 Any Inputs???

[Brady]

what's up w/ your pictures?  half of them don't work anymore.

[JC Blues]

Yeah I gotta fix that Brady moved them on accident and have to re edit each post

[JC Blues]

Well hey there guys. Yeah im back havent abandoned the project or thread! For those of you that care school's eaten up my budget.  Literally.  Since im now paying for most of my schooling bike progress will be ultra slow. That coupled with the fact I wont be able to work on the bike for the next month. . .  I think we all see were that is going anyhoo

 UPDATES!!!

So anyone remember that bear of an alternator rotor. . . Well after sooooooo long I got it off!!



With it off I could finally split the cases.





And in the hiatus I bought a new tank



Couldnt resist



Next on the list is blasting what I can take with me on my month long trip and putting some powder down and once back ill be hitting the tank hard getting ready for paint. I am a little stuck on the engine color though the tanks gonna be silver with a hint of blue and a black stripe the engine will be black with polished fins question is . . . Flat black or gloss?

See ya on the flip! !
