Leave the sticker, it's part of it's story!!

I figured I'd get at least one person saying that. OK...for now I will... Plenty to do on the bike anyway.

Finally getting to work on the bike! I had to finish up other projects first.

Getting back to working on the paint! Still need to work on the fender braces, pedals, etc., but I'm happy with the development so far.

OK...pretty much done. I'll use a Dremel on the fender braces and pedals to finish it up, but I wanted to get some shots outside today. The sun kept going in and out, which explains the difference in color of the paint in some of the photos.

I only removed the tank and top of the headlight while working on it. Everything else was left on the bike. The wheels appear to never have been removed as there weren't any marks from the nuts and washers on the paint, and I didn't want to be the first.

Enjoy the barrage of photos!!

This one might be looking for a new home...but it would need to be picked up here on Long Island...

Anyone interested?...
