Awesome!
Going to tackle the frame this weekend hopefully, if I find time. It needs some filler/primer/paint.
Love that tank choochie
@Minglor yeah CTN did an awesome job. Love that it’s one-off that no one else will have one like it. I’m kinda stumped on what color choice to go with, it’s the only “body” part that will be getting color.
Olive oil yellow?
@XwalkerX suggested the eye-tie flag on it.
Looks like I’m pretty set on Ferrari Grigo Scuro though:
I tell ya what, I freaking love that concrete/non-metallic gray. Saab used it on a few cars as well as Scion, and having seen those drive around I was sold on it. That Ferrari just looks stupid awesome.
That gets my vote on color.
Thats an awesome color

Exhaust came in:
Also a Yoshi Carb Heat Shield:
Saturday I’m installing a 220v line with a sub-panel box so I can run a compressor more efficiently. Also will be adding some filler and primer to the frame/swing-arm in hope to spray it the following weekend. Also need to finagle some sort of cover for the top of the block so I can soda blast that as well and begin to prep it for primer/paint.
:tup:
A little teaser pics of the color combo on the wheels…this is the rear, still waiting on the front to be completed:
Wow. So nice :tup:
So yesterday a sub-panel box and 220v line went into my shop, super stoked! Next toy is a decently sized compressor.
@sikksohc stopped by to start the turbo set-up on his LSX 240sx.
The CB also got some filler and primer.
Next up is to finish sand-blasting my swing-arm with a few other misc. pieces. I will be installing a spare head/jugs/VC onto the block I am using so I can get in it the blaster with some soda. My wheels will be shipping out this upcoming week, hopefully more progress to come!
For starters, I had a pretty cute visitor at the shop over the weekend:
Justin at DC sent me a few pics of my jugs underway:
Wheels arrived, finally!
I tossed on my spare jugs, head and VC I had laying around so I could soda blast it:
Blasted it in the big bay in another portion of the building I rent space at.
Quick coat of primer with @checko. This is just for the short block. The head, jugs, VC, etc will be a different sent.
Also pulled a trigger on a CB650 cam and ordered a tachometer gear plug since I won’t be running gauges.
:tup:
meh
Next up within the following couple weeks:

Many runs in the primer, brought to you by @GV1390
Ha, I actually just came back to note that. Those will be sanded down before the paint gets applied. Driving me nuts just looking at it in that picture lol.
Not too far off from a @focusinprogress paint job hahaha
