So, another day in the garage.
The bike is starting to come together, but still a long way from finished. Waiting for warmer days so I can start painting the important stuff. Already painted some of the things that wont show, just to protect it from surface rust. But nothing fancy and no pics, sorry.
I also cleared out the tank from the small amount of rust inside, same method as earlier with oxalic acid. Works like a charm.
I have a shopping list picked out for the rest of the stuff, and in about a week or two I will be able to pick most of it up. Also my seatcover is almost finished, just some touch up details, or thats what i've been told anyway.
Everything on the bike so far is done without welding, which wasn't my plan from the beginning, but since I could work it out without the weld (I don't own a mig or tig yet) that's what i'll go with for now. There's always tomorrow for my big dreams.
As for the name of the bike which I decided on earlier, el lobo, I came up with an idea. Let's see what you guys think:
The tank had some old emblems on it, i thought a while about having new ones machined, but then i decided to make them out of wood instead. I have a friend who will paint a wolf on them. Here they are, and where they go on the tank.
