Almost a rideable bike again for the first time in who knows how many decades. I was able to get quite a bit done last night 6/18 with the house to myself. I'm hoping to get this together tonight so I can ride it Thursday evening in our weekly Classic and Custom ride. I have to tear the rear...

It's like you get me ... This is pre full scale aging, just mild mists of my pallet.

Mostly luck ... I bought all 3 colors of burgundy that they had. None were perfect but the aging process with the shades of browns and cinnamon hide that it's not a perfect color match, I think.
