Just Another Tequila Sunrise.
Frame's painted. 1 coat of Mr Boeing's fuel tank epoxy, 2 coats of sunrise red and 2 coats of 2 part polyurethane clear. That ortta' get me another 50 yrs out of it. I think the sunrise red gets me pretty close to Mr Soichiro's sixties red.
I filled in around all the brackets and tabs with J B Weld. That should keep all the oil and grime out.
Picked up a '74 bottom end off Ebay for 100 bucks delivered. Crank's a little rusty, but everything spins as it should. Haven't rebuilt a pressed crank since I was a kid at a Kawasaki shop. Hopefully it's like ridin' a bike. The early bottom end I have owes me nothing, so hopefully I can get my Franklin back from that.
