I finally have almost all the parts that were restorable bead blasted to bare metal. Tomorrow I will spray some semi-gloss black. Next week the frame and the other gloss black parts get sprayed and pretty soon the engine gets put back together. I'm getting closer by the day. :D

Good for you! Inspiration to get a newbie (Jim) off his butt and start on his!

Very nice! I love this part of a project after most of the nasty work is out of the way.

Be sure to put those throw pillows back where you found them when you are done. :lol:

Don't wait around too long. Get the parts coated with something or they'll start to rust
