Thanks for the help with the patina on the Elgin.

Quite the thunder and lightning show last night!

Page 8 Reminder pics.....



















Finally a day off to play.....


Removed the frame from the patina jig and got down to business....
Tools are a mess, I'll save that for another day.
Time's a tickin!





Started cleaning all the bearings.....
Regreasing & and reassembly....






















































I took it for the first shakedown ride tonight . Rides like a dream!

I just have to do a few minor adjustments and tweaks.....

Other than that, I'd say DONE.

Also have to find a cool place for the final photo shoot


..... And that folks , is my 1945 Elgin , As Found...... ( well sorta )



Stay Tuned ........
