Once I took all the parts outside......you can see that the person who previously painted it actually took a grinder or a very coarse sanding disk to get the paint off......The fork & frame have a few "Grooves" on them.....
No big deal, just a little more sanding and primer work before paint.....
Yesterday afternoon, did a little sanding on all of the pieces.......they all needed a little spot putty.....
To most people this looks kinda like bondo......it's not.. The rear fender has a lot of pitting from rust, it's easier to use this than 10 coats of primer......it finds the low spots, and fills in the pitting...99% of it is sanded off....
After sanding the frame this morning, it showed a little more pitting itself, so I decided to putty it. I'll let it dry for a while, sand it down after lunch, and paint some more primer......
Another hour of sanding & a few more coats of primer, the days activities have come to an end......
Tomorrow I'll start again early with a little finish sanding, and check for anymore "defects". If anymore putty is to be applied...I'll switch to the red stuff for some contrast when sanding......if none required, there should be paint on this stuff by tomorrow afternoon......

Sanded all the pieces with 400....fork still needs some of the pitting filled in......fenders have a few spots to deal with.....70deg this morning sure helps being outside....getting closer.
