Taped and sprayed the fork darts and did the task of taping and spraying the headlight cover and front fender.
I thought the tank was hard to mask out, the fender was a PAIN! Taped and un-taped it multiple times to get the dart laid correctly. Used original references to lay them in the right spots.

Little before and after of the rear fender....im kinda proud of it. No filler used, all hand hammered and metal finished.
This was the last full base coat to paint

Ok ok last post, sorry.
Just finished the badge. Its going over a grey background so i went with the blue. Hand polished and then painted.

Got the Double Eagle Deluxe out to clean for a ride tomorrow and decided to change out an original set of G3s for John’s chain treads for piece of mind. Good decision because the front rim didn’t even have a rim strip in it. Some really sharp eyed readers may recognize this bike from Color Page F of the Colson book. I expect this bike was restored about 30 years ago and had a Troxel Streamline seat and Wald Tomahawk stem both of which I corrected. Looking forward to putting some miles on this one. V/r Shawn

Did a little mock-up with my Varsity, I think it's a '75. It was Yellow originally...

Not sure if I like the suspension fork or the slingshot stem. I think a 4-bolt slanted stem & a chrome tubular fork might go better...

Little bit done on this one today. Handlebars mounted, need to make a crossbar. Sprocket cleaned up, this isn’t original but I needed a 1/2” pitch period correct to run on this one, and crank assembly installed. Pedals located in my stash. Just waiting for wheels to show up so I can start lacing.
