[CURTIS L LINDGREN]

You've done a lot of work to get this far....................but , you know what they say.............it's All in the Prep ! Good on ya for stickin' with it. It's pretty crazy that you say it pedals so easily................especially with those Monster Meats on the back. What a cool and unique project. Looking forward to your paint scheme . " Fly Low , So the Kids can See " !!

After about 16 hours of body work, I was ready for primer. I was sure once it's one color, I'll find another hour or two of filling and sanding. The heat and humidity was hardening the filler way to fast. To complicate that, most of what needed filling was very tedious to reach. It was just as tedious to sand!

I finally get to see it all in one color and I'm happy with the overall look of it.

Thank you Curtis. I've named this Cyrus the Virus.

I finished laying on the gold leaf last night, I'm debating if I want to put some candy green over it.

 

[CURTIS L LINDGREN]

I would say YES to putting the Candy green over the gold leaf................as long as it would settle in with no adverse affects. I think it would be a benefit to the overall paint scheme with a nice surprise for people getting a close look. I bet it would stand out best under pure sunlight , but take on a life of it's own in a area with less light. Good choice for a name ..............seems VERY appropriate I'm giving you a big Thumbs Up !!

I masked of the gold last night and will be doing the green today, then it will get cleared and pinstriped. I'm getting close to reassembly.
