Another New Guy and Simplex/Boardtrack Project

Thanks for the encouragement fc10a3-
Yeah, Lou is pretty amazing. Drugs just wore off and my wife told me DR. said I won't be riding for four months but after a couple of weeks light wrenching would be good hand therapy.
 
Went by Lou's shop today and Lou was working on my Mechanical/hydraulic front brake. It is a better design than I had, but works the same. Here is a video.

 
Here is the oil tank/electrical box almost ready for paint.

Thanks Drewpy, I took 11 more pieces today to be copper plated!!

With my wrist issues I am hoping for completion by the end of this month, though I won't be able to ride it.
 
I have been doing other work recently!!! Physical Therapy.

looks a bit like my left hand, except mine ran from palm to 1/2 way up the forearm.

mines fine so hopefully your will be the same! I had to have another operation to remove my screws and rods!

speedy recovery Daddio :D
 
That is good news Drewpy...I am in PT 11 days after surgery. Seems to be going well. Doing light work on the bike.
 
This is going to be my base color; House of Kolor - Meteor Maroon, with a tan accent and then some pinstriping.

I am supposed to pick up all the pieces that were copper plated tomorrow. It is coming down to the end of this project, some body work, paint, reassembly and pin striping!!!
 
Thanks Isigt!! I don't think that even shows the color that well, it has a lot of copper in it. Picking up the copper pieces tomorrow as they weren't ready today.
 
Picked up all the copper plating today!!! Here is a sample. Painting the frame right now. Should be done this weekend and have the pinstriper scheduled for Monday afternoon. Then start the clear on Tuesday.
