Hi all i have got moving on the sandcast project again, i had a fellow sohc enthusiast (richard) kindly heiped me out and made me up some hinges which i welded on the other day, the welds are deliberately rough to match the rest of the 1969 welds on the frame which tbh are shocking
Once lined up using a jig richard made me from his frame i welded up and primed
Then i hung the frame up and sprayed the bugger myself, i just dont trust other peoples work and have had to many disappointments in the past, it has come out great and the gloss level is a perfect match for an original NOS footpeg which i used for reference, a couple of bloody fly's landed on the drying paint so i have that to deal with but that is easily done,
So i have the battery box, tool tray, footpegs, and swing arm to do next, then i can crack on with other bits, it would be nice to get the engine done , so i will report back with the progress on that when i get stuck in
