A friend of mine that does custom paint is going to do it.
My paint has a lot of blemishes and the bike really needs it.
I'll have to paint the frame also. I was going to install another engine so i quess the time is right.
I wish i could afford a hundred bucks for new wiring but i'll go through the wiring and rewrap it. Roy

Started on that tonight. Was so warm i had to turn the heat off. :laugh:
There is a few dings that need to be taken care of.
First picture for refrence of what the flames look like when i go back to paint it.
The previous owner cut the turn signal tabs off so i need to clean up that area.
I had a "J" front fender and just put it on to see if it would fit. It did. Too square.
There is going to be a whole lot of sanding going on.
Here is the tab i repaired on the side cover. It's a shame i have to sand them down again.
They were so pretty. :laugh:

I'm going to get a free custom paint job on my bike.
A friend of mine that does custom paint is going to do it.
Lucky guy!
I've a few friends that are excellent painters but, they are like "Hey Dude, how's it going? Paint? SHOW ME THE MONEY!"

The last free paint job a friend did for me was in 1986. He painted it Plumb Crazy, the purple color from the old Mopars of the 70's. What color are you gonna go with Roy?

I have to go to the parts store today for sanding disks so i will check out the color charts.
The guy painting it had a lot of colors but i get a lot of comments on the present paint job and i don't want it gaudy. Roy
