Cool! I'm in to see where this goes

just checked out your build I love the work so far! By the way just throwing this out there, but if you would be so kind as to donate your badass hotrod to the "Madcap needs that thing! organization" you will be mentioned in a nice newsletter and maybe even get a free keyring.

lol I hear that. the only reason I have the time and money to do the bike right now is because I decided to put the other stuff on the back burner for now.

[Madcap Att]

I am still waiting on parts to get back from powder coating. going to order bearings and all that jazz this weekend. I am getting ready to paint my motor I was going to use vht do i need to bake the paint on somehow? i feel like the engine would not get hot enough to properly cure the paint.

 

[SaltCityCafe]

I would think the paint would have instructions on it as fsr as baking and temps needed. Beyond that I haven't used it so I'm useless....as usual

 

[Madcap Att]

HA its cool. Im going to check it out today if i have time.

 

[Madcap Att]

Okay so heard back from the powder coating place today and the color I want he had to order and well it never showed up so he re-ordered it.
sooo... no parts yet!

I did order all new bearings and retainers. from DCC and Carpy`s I also ordered his retainer wrench. should be here any day now. I also put a coat of clear over my tank and tail to protect the artwork. it was a flat clear so it will still be a dull finish. I will get pics and post them hopefully tomorrow.
now we play the waiting game.

 

[Madcap Att]

Bearings came in and also here is the tank and seat. After it dried some more it's not as shiny.

Love the build so far.. I am working on an 81 cb750k at the moment and was inspired by the WLA Harley's as well!
great to see someone else doing this

What colour paint is that and where did you get it?

cant wait to see how it turns out

 

[Madcap Att]

okay so I know it has been a while but. i have been busy with moving, schooling and new job but finally here is an update!
parts are powder coated and look sweet! just waiting on some new spokes and a few other things. I am getting ready to clean and paint the motor. the comes the install also a photo to give an idea of what it will look like.

 

[Madcap Att]

I cleaned up the horn to see how it looks and boy was that thing dirty. i like the tarnish im gonna leave it like that and not polish it off.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. As far as the paint a buddy sprayed his truck this color and had enough left over to do my tank and seat. As of right now i do not know the code but the paint came from ppg. When i get some touch up paint and they scan it i will throw the code on here.

 

[Madcap Att]

alright spokes got here today and i started lacing the rims.... 8) i got this haha.. okay its a a little more complicated than i thought but its going smooth now once i figured out the correct pattern.
