Stretched@Birth Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 Chopped the fender for the front, now the fenders can go for painting.
Stretched@Birth Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 Not much progress this weekend. Front fender mounting is sorted, though I now need to fill holes, as I'm no longer using the support stays. Decided to spray a lot of the bits myself, rather than powder coating, so have been stripping paint. Also am in 2 minds about frame color, was going to go matt black, but now considering candy apple red...
Stretched@Birth Posted March 2, 2014 Author Posted March 2, 2014 Fenders sprayed, matt black out os a rattle can, many thin coats on top of grey primer. Also did the fork legs, they are "cast iron" metallic.
Stretched@Birth Posted March 2, 2014 Author Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) These bits are off to the powder coaters tomorrow. Edit: Spelling Edited March 2, 2014 by Stretched@Birth shaper 1
Stretched@Birth Posted March 2, 2014 Author Posted March 2, 2014 Oh, yes, found some suitable bars too.

Stretched@Birth Posted March 4, 2014 Author Posted March 4, 2014 This :thumbup:Unfortunately not going to happen, the powder for the candy apple is R2000 a box, none of the local guys want to buy a whole box for my little job. So, black it will be, bits were dropped off today.

Stretched@Birth Posted March 4, 2014 Author Posted March 4, 2014 Where is the bugger them button ? To be fair they did offer to paint it instead, but it still will have worked out quite expensive, so I predict for the original plan - STEALTH Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2 eddy 1

Stretched@Birth Posted March 16, 2014 Author Posted March 16, 2014 Day time pic. Rides nice, though a little small for me. Need some other pedals, stole my wife's Mallets just so I could take it for a ride. BogusOne 1
