    I’m going to paint it L345, light grey.  I have leftover paint from my old panel that is at least 15 years old.  It looks a little muddy but I think I can make it work.

    Thanks, Will!

     

    Rusty, those Cushmans are neat to look at but ride terrible.  Cushman actually stopped making scooters and started selling re-badged Vespa’s because they just couldn’t compete with the European manufacturers.  If you like that look, Heinkel Tourists are really nice, civilized bikes and parts are still available for them.  German too so you know they are quality.

    Sweet project. I too, like a good motorbike project. Your panel (above) is awesome.

    I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.

    Thanks John.  I really dug that one too.

    I’ve done a little more work on the Samba.  Pressed out the ball joints with this tool I made some years ago.  Still works great:

    Installed a new swing lever kit.  I’m waiting on some ball joints then I can get it back together.

    The decklid is pretty beat.  It has a big sway to it and the sides are really stretched out.  The center section is pretty good minus some holes and minor dents.

    Both hinge mounts were cracked.  This one had been repaired and got worse.

    The frame needs some work to make it lay flat against the skin.
