LIKE IT ALOT! Can't wait to see final assembly. How does the paint lay down? I'm thinking about getting a couple cans custom mixed to do some color matching on my new project Huffman.

So far the only issue is how hard it is. I've been heating up the parts before painting with either a blow dryer or the oven. With the intervals of paint layering, it's been laying down quite nice.
Thanks for the approval guys!

Looks great Nick. I have done just what you are doing a couple of times with real good results. The only thing I caution is when you are happy with your coverage of color----STOP-----do not try one more coat thinking 1 more will be better. I have tried that a couple of times and when I did that one more coat, the paint wrinkled up. I don't know why, everything was great before that one more make even better coat of paint. Then I had to do my whole process over again. Looks great though, nice project.

Thanks Mark. Enjoying the current push I'm on right now with the project.
I replated the wheels you gave me, a little pitted in spots, but solid and straight as heck. Muchas gracias!
Also Mark was able to rummage up a few NOS 1934 goodies (fork bearings and hub strap)
My project wouldn't be the same without your contributions.

I had to take advantage of today's heat.
Finished up the paint (frame/tank)

Pretty happy with the coverage, so I pulled the stencils.

I'm hoping the pinstripes clean up the darts

So excited to have the ears reattached after the cad plating was done. Found some good rivits that fit perfect, and pounded away with my hammer. I had never pein a rivit before, so it was tricky at first. Very happy with the result

Looks like the seat I got from Mr. Werba is going to be perfect.
