After. Im very happy with it. I'll add a couple more after emblems and decals have been added. This is just a quicky that my buddy sent to me.

The colour looks great. Maybe even better when you add stripes. :clap: :up:

Looks even better in person. Exactly what I was looking for. Its going to look awesome in bright sun light. Which we haven't had here in sometime.

Like a candy should, it changes wild shades of gold, yellow, orange and carmel metallic depending exactly where you stand when you look at it. Or light / over cast hits it. Very cool looking.

Thank you. I can't take full credit. But, it wasn't very easy on my side either. Lol ! I still have a good way to go. Everything is looking new and shiny. Got the crank back a few days ago with new seals and bearings. Just the frame, several small details and the motor put back together and polished up. I managed to completely save about 70 % of my original parts. Had you seen what I had to deal with over all to begin with. It's something to be proud of considering this is my first go at any type of restoration. Should be done by the end of summer, depending on my work.

I will, but I'm perhaps several months away.
