Day 6: Fresh Paint

Oh the joy and happiness that comes with a freshly painted frame and swing arm! It is not just paint folks! This parts are heated to about 480 degrees and powder coated. Then the whole menagerie is covered with three layers of clear! It looks flawless and beautiful! The swing arm is too wide now to fit so some of the powder coating must be sanded. During the time I was waiting for the frame, I took all the remaining parts and started grinding the rust off of them. A very tedious task, but important still. More good news is that I just heard from Speed and Sport and they are sending the ordered parts. I will have the rings and other various parts, listed previously, very soon. She will ride again!
