Sorry for the delay ford. Work has got in the way of my fun time.
I picked up my frames from the sand blasters today. I have a couple of small cracks to Tig up on saturday and 1 of the frames has an engine mount tag broken. Nothing major will have them ready to prime on sunday.
I have also bead blasted all the Aluminium parts for both bikes. Engine , fork tubes , linkages etc.
I am going to experiment on a couple of pieces this weekend with "easy glow" an acid to see what they come out like.
The parts look amazing, like brand new raw aluminium.
The easy glow will just change the colour slightly. At the moment the parts are quite whitesh looking and the acid might give them a darker look. Will know soon. We use the acid at work on stainless but no one knows how it will work on alloy.
I will post some pics this weekend.
My new seat turns up tommorrow as well.
Things are progressing slowly but thankfully I am on to the good part of a restoration.
Things are going together now, Not being pulled apart.
