Breathing new life into old paint. Looks great!

The wheels and tires look sub-par now.

Buffing old paint is so rewarding and fun!  The results are awesome.  Well done Pat!

Thanks y’all!

I agree wheel’s need the love next. Maybe when the disc brake kit shows up we paint them.

Cleaned all the buffing compound out of the nooks and crannies, rubbed the bumpers and hubcaps with steel wool, and installed fresh stainless trim this morning. 

We will build it if it comes.

Been wrenching on local stuff…New speedometer for Rina’s original owner orange 74 super, along with the first oil change on the new engine.

Branson’s white 73 super got a new top end and a main seal. I just ran it. Ready to go tomorrow after I check the valves again.

Thanks Eric! You’ve been great to work with!

Pulled wheels and had tires dismounted yesterday. Franz blasted a couple before sand rand out. Picked up more this morning.

Ready for a light sanding, then sealer and paint. 

We will build it if it comes.

Painted black. Nice n’ shiney. A 65 would have pearl white rim sections on the outer portion of the wheels.

Masking and another paint session to go, unless we are happy with all black?

First round of paint on the wheels looks killer!!!

Started on the front disc conversion yesterday. 

Larger bore MC was first to go in.

Finished it all up this morning. 

Masked and laid down pearl white. Two tone baby!

We will build it if it comes.
