After a period of not working on much other than picking up some other stuff, both in parts and project wise, I got out today and spent some more time on the Corvette project, as well as a bit work on the "48 CT2 that has been sitting aside for months. My ambition has not been super high in a while, but I found the urge to mess around with these projects for the first time in a while. Started out with the Corvette, I dug up another chainguard since the one I had painted and ready turned out to be a 24'" model. I had found and bought another one, and painted the portion of it that would be black, and as usual, put it in a safe place until I was ready to put the decal on it and then install it on the bike. When I said as usual, that just means that the "safe place" I put it means it was pretty much lost among the other parts in the shop. Several weeks ago, I was looking for a chainguard for the "Bob the CT" project and found another NOS guard for the Corvette that I'd need to paint for the bike. I did that this afternoon and it came out pretty good. I went to hang it to sit and cure for a day or two, and as things usually go for me, I looked down from where I was standing to hang the freshly painted guard and there directly in front of me I found the guard I painted for the Corvette several months ago. Great! now I have two 26" ones. When the one I did today cures for a couple of days, I'll get it down, install the decal, and then get it mounted. I'll save the other one for another frame I have sitting, waiting to get built into something middleweight for the future. OK, now that this is done and curing, I moved on to hunting down the wheelset for the '48 Cycle-Truck CT2 project that had stalled for a while. It shows through the door in the picture posted in April with the nose pointed to the left in the photo from the April post.
I went out and dug around some more today, but was apparently looking in the wrong area. I found some things I will need to finish the '48 CT, but not the box with the fenders in it. I DID find some pedals that I was not even sure I had anymore, so that made it worth the time, however, that didn't help with the fender search. As the '48 is not nosed into that end of the shop at this point, it should be a little easier to get into the stuff that is where it was sitting before it got attached to the work stand. Tomorrow will be another day, and I hope to be back out there again.
