Back from second page slacker status. To many 12 hr shifts in a row. I finally got the rest of the paint to give up on the frame. I can't find good aircraft stripper i have used in the past. So slow it is. On a positive note all i have left is the tank, front forks, and a chainguard if i use one. Everthing will be clear coated with dead flat clear. At this pace i should be done by December. Time to pull the steel wool strands out of my fingers and start another part.
Tedious, but rewarding work!
Looks good. I really like the bare metal look.
Three layers of the most armor proof paint i've ever stripped. Could have sent it to the blaster but they come out to clean and shiny for my likes. I'll give them a little OA bath which will take out the shine and give it a little more aged look. A couple light coats of dead flat clear and ready for my pin striper.
All the paint has been removed from the frame and tank. A little bit more and the forks will be complete. If I use a chainguard I will need to do it also. Stripping season is over for me.
Diggin' the look of that frame / tank, Marshall.
It looks fantastic all stripped down!
I'm going to pull this springer apart to finish stripping the paint. Any tips or tricks before I open up a new can of worms. Thanks.
Ummm, looks good as it is? Looks like it's already done? (second photo)

just a 'strip, tease' ?
I'm with OJ, it looks ready to rock!
Still paint under the tube in the crevices. I may just put a brass brass on the drill and clean it up. Probably won't see it any way with a fender on it.
Looks great.
It seems like there is an ongoing commentary in this build off that strippers just don't work as hard as they used to.
