Seeing as I search for old bikes as reference photos mostly coming up from being posted in threads like this... It probably would come up on a search for starsnbars now

It does. Just googled "starsnbars bike"
 
Broke down most of starsNbars for clean up and paint.
Discovered that one of my BB bearings came out of its sleeve. Couldn't find any damage though.

Removed the girvin forks and primed them and got to use my yard sale towel holder / painted parts hanger for the first time.

Ever since I made the nanner front beehive bracket, I have planned to do add some Drillium holes to play against the ring of Iver Johnson chainguard holes. I laid out the holes to decrease in size with a very crude drill press vise. A couple of the holes are far from perfect, but I still like the rattiness of it. This will be painted with the textured rust paint just like the forks.

I am really liking my parts hanger! Primed a few more parts this evening.
I also laid down the base coat of textured paint on the forks. I am using the lighter redder of the two paints for the base coat.
I then used the old chainguard that I had painted the front end with the same paint last month. I took the darker browner texture paint and randomly sprayed areas from a farther distance. I like the test result so far. I am going to do the opposite on some of the other parts.

I finally made it home and wanted to thank you again for the cruise, info and history lesson. Savannah is a terrific place to ride and I'm really glad we were able to hook up. I see you got your 'horny' cabled up. I like the way the horn seems to 'nod' as it is activated.
I know it has been said many times on websites, but it is especially true here with bikes. Pictures just do not do justice for these builds. StarsNbars SCREAMS cool. It really needs to be seen to be appreciated for the time and effort put into it. And I didn't get to see it completed!
