Todays work


Today I spent most of the afternoon sanding the Gas Tank, Shock Tubes, Handlebar Bracket, , Kick Stand, and Frame(Distressing not stripping for a older look).  Next on the list is bondo on the tank to smooth out the bumps then sand, paint, and gold leaf.  The helmet sitting on the makeshift seat was my first try at gold leafing and engine turning earlier this year.
