I am envious! This was the first bike I learned on to use a clutch. My uncle rode o. The back with me as I learned! These are few and far between! Good luck on your resto!

As I was doodling around in the garage last night, I finished up a few more plated pieces. This time I used some Phospuric acid to clean, rinsed the pieces then plated for about 5 minutes !

Racer, I too like the look with some sink fasteners and the yellow tint. This sample piece doesn’t seem to my eyes as having much of a brown-yellowish tone at all. It seems like a dull nickel. No, I am not a person who likes anything shiny or chrome looking. As in the picture, if I can get...

Well as you can see from no recent posts, there hasn’t been much mini bike making! Any spare time the past several weekends has been doing this for a friend. Yes I am getting paid for the side job! I am installing 900 square feet in a condo. It takes me almost an hour to get there in traffic...

The hubs didn’t have paint on them only old aluminum. I will think it over! I will look for someone who can seat new valves or do a grind. Will I need oversized valves?

Oh, I am doing a trial literally right now nickel plating a piece of the brake lever on hub. I am not paying $3 / bolt at a chrome shop! I have even thought of making a jig from the engine guard bolt holes near steering neck back to the rear side bolts to hold everything in place and literally...

RacerX, thanks for feedback. I haven’t done it personally of cutting and welding on panels, but do know the principles. My brother has been in the business for 30 years and I have seen him do a lot. I am well rounded mechanical type of person and know to take my time. I need to measure the...

Moving on, I swear I have enough items here for a scratch and dent sale. A tap tap here and a tap tap there, here’s a dent there’s a dent everywhere a dent dent, ole Mc-Hobie went to the garage eee ooh eee ooh nooo more dents! It doesn’t take much to bring these parts back into specs, just...

Well, I am in deep now! When you enter the tunnel and the light at each end disappears which direction do you go? I am heading to the unknown exit, my wife seems to think I am turning around! Nah!, I can’t now I have a bike to finish before my 4 yr old turns 9. The Bike...CT70KO built...
