Gibralter by 3/24

I have 5-1/2 weeks to do this, my goal is to have this chassis turned into a whole bike, running and road ready, on display at the Gibralter show with Streetfighterdave. Object is to take an all original Z1 chassis and turn it into a competent street performer with some modern day amenities for handling, safety, and looks without taking away from it's real roots, ZERO frame mods except for mild frame bracing!!! Follow along as I hope to post up pics in the next few days. For now, I have lots of cleaning in preparation for paint and mock assy.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.....too bad it's not a bit later as I will be in that area a couple of weeks after that. Let me know how long the show is on for and maybe I will be lucky and see your creation in person !!!!

this is going to be cool to get to follow along and see what you come up with.

Been almost 7 days with no progress pictures. That leaves 4.5 weeks to keep us informed Les.

Done a parts inventory and started getting parts ordered and build planned out. Got cases and most covers ultrasonic cleaned and blasted with walnut shells today. Experimenting with black wrinkle finishes on covers, anyone have any insite?
Anyone recognize this?

Looks like a Z2 750 block. The sleeves fit in my 903 block and I had them bored to 1015 in 87.
