Thanks for the kind words,as for the old paint it had been rattle canned the green it was when I started, black was under that, then the original red witch was a solvent base,not power. A fine SS wire brush on 4in grinder ,then finish with scotch bright surface conditioning disc.
Update, more progress this week ,have the rear chain guard shaped and mounted and with a little more clean up and polish, I think it will be fine. Also got the fuel tank mounted along with the catch tank.
