BIG progress today!
Finally got decent enough weather to finish up the paint/clear.
After 2 coats of color and 4 coats of matte/‘dead flat’ clear (wet sanded between each coat).
The paint turned out just the way I’d hoped. The matte will look good with the glossy decals that will go on next.
I was able to get everything assembled and to a rider.
It rides really nice (can’t figure out how to add a video via Tapatalk).
I’ll call it ‘done’ when the decals come in.
I’d like to thank a few people that helped make this come together.
@ind-chuckz for the frame and tires [emoji1360]
@Smoopy’s for the headbadge [emoji1363]
@kingfish254 for the wheels [emoji1365]
@kingfish254 and
@OddJob for the ‘counseling’
@Rat Rod for starting the strandie page that made me say ‘I want one of those!’
For now, I’m gonna go ride my new bike!
Cheers all!
Dr. T (Rob)
