havent been on nyspeed in a long time but i figure i’d post up progress as i make it on a new project im trying out hoping that someone cares :sad: starting with a '72(?) Benelli enduro, idk wtf it is really i stole it cheap from a trailer park because the guy had no idea it was italian or what it was. sorry for crappy pics…i need to remember to bring my camera with me when i go work on it… after an hour of teardown… ![http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a293/KCuv/2.jpg](http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a293/KCuv/2.jpg) after another hour… ![http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a293/KCuv/IMG00215-20100613-2007-1.jpg](http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a293/KCuv/IMG00215-20100613-2007-1.jpg) paint test on fender…i think it looks great/flawless ![http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a293/KCuv/4.jpg](http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a293/KCuv/4.jpg) ---

do you have any pictures of similar bikes that you’re hoping it will resemble when it’s done? looks like you have a lot of work ahead of you ---

ended up being “satin” black for frame/swingarm which looks. i couldnt find a gold that wasnt too yellow or too metallic. looks super good, not very satiny though just fresh and new and black. now just cleaning motor and reassembling. ---

> [@Shrives](#): > > Awesome pickup! Benellis are tits def. ill prob airbrush tits on the tank i’ve been really busy and not able to work on it too often. i need to take my camera over to the garage and take good pictures, everythings all painted up and looking fresh pretty much ready to put back together…need to get some new hardware though so it looks clean…not sure the best way to do that other than taking a shit ton of nuts n bolts to the store with me and matching them up 😕 ---
