You are doing a Great job on those forks. You should take over making them. I have the die and bender for the fork tubes. I have the die to make the ends of the fork tubes also.

Thanks! That’s an interesting idea on making more forks. I’ll have to give it some thought.

I needed to prep this chain guard for paint. It’s chrome with rust so I started with the abrasive wheel on the 4 1/2” grinder which did a great job. It seems to have stripped the chrome down a bit and removed the rust. I’ll give it an oxalic acid bath to get rid of the rest of the rust. Then etch primer and more body work. I straightened out some of the dings with the body hammer. It will need a skim coat of filler to be smooth.

Looks awesome. I’ll do some more homework.

Have you looked at the Dupli-Color Metal Specks? Its not expensive, lays down good, has good coverage, and can be purchased almost any where. Here it is in blue.....
