Look Ma, No Hands!
Hey everyone,
So, I've been working on dads Shelby. I'm waiting on some parts for the rear hub so I decided today to strip off the 37 year old paint job I did back when I was a teen. I have the frame down to bare metal and I was noticing that a lot of the brazed joints are fairly rough, not poor or damaged just lumpy. Not having a lot of experience restoring bikes I was just wondering if this is a normal thing? Also, as to restoring I wanted to get some thoughts on what others do on their projects? Do you grind joints smooth, or fill them or just leave them the way they are? Any thoughts or ideas are always welcome, thanks!!
