I really like the yellow lense on the headlight where did you get that??

 

[Mellowyellow]

I found it at Princess Auto. Im not sure if you have that franchise down there. Thought it looked good and for $30 you cant go wrong.

[Mellowyellow]

Movie hahaha thats one i dont want to see lol. Ive been doing good so far i paid $60 for the tank and im sure that was a deal. I did some looking for an old bsa tank like that and im pretty sure its worth around $200.

Well just ordered a bunch of engine parts from mikesxs and a pamco pete ignition hmmm cant wait, and just finished repainting the engine block last night. Baby steps.

Tonight "valve lapping"

what color did you go with and what kinda paint did you use?

 

[Mellowyellow]

I went with black on the top end with shaved cooling fins and silver on the bottom (still need to paint the silver). The paint was some no name cheap stuff that I needed to bake in the oven to cure. Is there any good sivler heat paint that doesnt need to be baked in the oven?

 

[crash]

no not that i know of ,we use grill paint and that has to be heated up to cure
