Yes Virginia,

The Wife called me and told me this package had come from, "Some Chrome Company". My heart went a flitter, "Could it be, so soon?) Well, Santa came a day or two early here.

Comming along nicely

Just after Christmas and the engine is just about prepped. The head and cylinder will be dropped off at the machine shop tomorrow. I will be away for a week so those parts should be ready when I get back. The cases and other parts got painted, the cylinder got bead blasted, the head will be done by the machine shop. The parts that needed to be polished got polished and the "Honda" logo surround painted in VHT Gloss Black on the alternator cover. Nothing more has been assembled but this is another great milestone for a resto, lots a prep in these 3 pics. I am still waiting on some seals to come in to assemble the engine and they should be here by time I get back. Happy New Year Everyone.

Looking good!

Do you recommend Paul's Chrome? I need the grab rail on the H1 rechromed but there is only 1 local plater and they are slow and expensive. Mind if I ask how much they charged for your grab rail?
Thx

The grab rail was $150 I think, I am away now and don't have access to the receipt. I have used them on a few projects and the quality is very good. They will give you a price over the phone and if it is going to cost more once they receive it they will ship it back to you no charge.

Sounds reasonable, thanks.

While the Wife is away we shall bake away. This double oven thing was a hard sell to me, I mean, who needs 2 ovens? Well, I now see their value. These cases just barely fit in there, ain't no CBX cases getting done in a regular house oven, I can see that. The head and cylinder are still at the machine shop and will also need to be baked when they get back. Tomorrow though, the bottom end assembly can begin.



For any of you Bakers, or Future Bakers out there, I do have one tip learned the hard way. Don't use the Pot Holder/Hanger Dealios that your Wife's Grammy made for rags.

how strange we jump on the kitchen when wife is away but usually not for cocking

Now I wish I had a double oven!
