Notice the crazy “S” curve going on.

And afterwards... Quite happy with how they came out. Forgot how much I like playing with the torch :)

Still waiting on paint for the frame and fenders. But I did make some time to fix my damaged Shelby fork.
My 1936 Shelby came to me with a damaged steering stem on the fork. Really like the paint on it and didn’t want to replace it, but I temporarily did. With the fork in the pictures above. That gave me time to fix the one that matches my Shelby...

After looking at the parts I’ve already painted, I decided to do a better job repairing the frame. It had a lot of small dents in it. So, primer was stripped back off and more metal work was to be done. In the first pic you might be able to see some of the dents. I had filled them with putty, but I decided this was coming out nicer than I had intended it, so I went back and did some metal finishing instead. Second set of pics is after the metal finishing. And the last pic is frame with the first coat of heavy fill primer applied. Then it’s back to watching paint dry and repeating until it’s smooth and ready for its color.

So the project is back on track again!
