paint stripping, aluminum parts


This may not look like much but this took some work to get this far. I (wisely) decided to start stripping paint from parts that are supposed to be bare aluminum and not painted at all so that I would not have to deal with priming bare steel. This is as far as I got. I have the front electrics cover that I am finishing up and I think that the top part of the triple tree is supposed to be chrome; every thing else is going to be paint. Don't argue with me. I am keeping the engine/transmission black and I am adding black parts from the eighties air cleaner and starter cover. That is all done. Which leaves miscellaneous frame parts to be stripped and painted. I will not do that now until the weather is warmer so that I can deal with that out side of the basement.

So, the next step will be to begin categorizing repairs to be done and making parts lists. If things go well I will be finishing that up by Friday (I have another Friday off!)
