Theres nothing that can't be done. Say, if "they" can do it, so can I.

Looks like your doing good work though!

A lot of work ahead of you but your doing some nice work. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,139 Authorized Pest | | Authorized Pest Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,139 | 57Rat -- I switched out all your images to links. Check the December news page and you'll see the reason we ask this. We do have a lot of folks on dial-up. You've done a good job with the photos and info, so it would be terrible for folks to miss out just because it takes 30 minutes to open this page!!!
Thanks and good luck with the project!

Worth the time to verify before you button it up! | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 35 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 35 | I'm doing about the same thing you are and am interested to see your progress. By the end of Jan I hope to have all body panels back from sandblasting. I have the seat being recovered and some of the chrome being polished. In spring I will get frame blasted/painted and then start putting it all back together.
Good luck
