Very impressed with the work. My honest impression when you started this thread was you had bitten too much off. Seems like it is me who will be biting some humble pie!  Hats off to you, top marks. Skills aside, where do you guys find the time?
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

Like it, reminds me of the times I have started with a delivery from the powder coaters and the polishers...Hoooo so many years ago.
keep the photos coming.
What have you painted it with.
I had some fork bottoms polished and they come back warped  :(
