'39 Miss

Picked this one up at StevieZ's swap after not pulling the trigger on it up at the Dudley swap. A fellow good Caber , and I, came to a agreement, so here it is. Thanks Catfish, I reused your photo, it was better than the one I had. As you can see, it certainly has patina.

It came apart a lot easier than expected, I think Kevin had started the penetrating oil process. Sanded & Rust Mort'ed everything, I really like that product. Original colors, two tone blue metallic w/ white & red pinstripes. Very patriotic.

Saw that bike at Dudley too.....was really tempting but pockets weren't full enough. Great score

First off, sorry for the out of focus photo. I included it because it shows, just barely, the red pinstripe along the fender line. It also highlights two essentials for fine restoration work, beer & a four pound hammer. Have, in the last few days, primed & puttied, as needed. Used Rustoleum rusty metal primer as base. I think it is an excellent filling primer, though it takes forever to dry. Finished w/ gray primer. Wet weather is here for the next several days, so on hold for now.
