So just a brief update/apology. This project is not forgotten. Lately the weather in my area/my schedule have been very incompatible with this project (up until recently). I should have had this thing done about a week ago. But it turned out after I finished nearly a week's worth of painting, waiting, masking, painting, and waiting some more that upon UN-masking my old school klunking paint job, my primer (or something in my paint) was bad. And big chunks of my sweet white-green rattlecan masterpiece came right off down to the metal.
Discouraging as this was, I took it in stride and stripped the entire thing, starting from bare metal again. About an hour ago I finished my white paint (meaning I've still got to wait 2 days/mask/paint/wait 2 days/unmask before I can build). I'd say I'll have a finished bike by this time next week. I don't have pictures of the first paintjob, the bare metal frame, or the paint process up until now. But I'll be sure to get some shots of the finished frame and the build process just as soon as I...find...my...camera... *sigh* :roll:
Thanks for your patience those who are interested in how this turns out. If I do say so myself, I think you're gonna like it! More than anything I can't wait to ride this thing. This will definitely be my new daily rider when it's done.
