what kind of paint? rattle ?

 

[Rattlecan]

I used a Dupont single stage urethane. I sprays really nice, covers really well and is very durable.

I love spraying this stuff.

dupont engine paint? or reg paint? if so man i would be worried about those side covers that contect to the block running

This is an awesome build, I really appreciate all the machining and welding after knowing what it all takes.

Joe
Its just automotive paint, but I'm pretty confident in it, I've sprayed a bunch of engine blocks with this in the past and they have held up really well. Its all in the prep. Plus its a 2 stroke they dont run anywhere near as hot as a 4 stroke.

Thanks Whiexk much appreciated.

ahh cool man cool did not know that about 2 strokes, reg paint you should be good to like 110*

So I go the motor bolted in last night and the side covers on.
So far progess is moving fairly well and I'm quite content with it.

Hope you guys like it.

I did a bit more detailing as well.

 

[DreadRock]

[66replica]

[Rossicle]

That looks so good! Nice job on the paint and details!

 

[IndieSol]

Wow. What a build. Amazing work thus far.

 

[JustinLonghorn]

Yep, I can definitely dig it.

 

[650hardtail]

nice progress...hope to see it at biker dons next yr

 

[Rattlecan]

So I did a bit more tinkering and got my shift lever sorted ot last night.
I've been thinking baout how I was gonna do it and still keep the look nice and clean, yet if I left the lever pointing down I would have to ride GP Shift which I really dont like.
So this is what I came up with.

 

[Rattlecan]

I also started into my side/sprocket cover and made some clearance for the chain and off-set sprocket.

This is as far as I got last night.

 

[Rattlecan]

Anyone of you guys know of a good custom painter in the Toronto area?

 

[50gary]

Very nice,
Cheers, 50gary

Did a bit more work tonight but not much to brag about.
Cleaned u my exhaust flanges and did a bit of machining on the offset sprocket. I'll take some pics tomorrow once there is actually something to show.
I guess we all have thoes days sometimes when we spend the entire evening working on something and really dont have much to show at the end of it.
