Mike on a bike:
HaHa, don't worry about the cabling, it will all be changed, just on for convenience at the moment. The clutch cable is so long due to me getting rid of the original silly wheelbarrow handlebars that were so wide and looked so wrong. See my profile pic.
Thanks for all the kind remarks.
And Roy, all criticism is good, good or bad, I can take it. lol
UK Pete:

Mike on a bike:
No red Pete, it will be royal blue candy over a silver flake base, finished of with variegated gold leaf flames.
It's amazing what one goes through when you buy a bike. Originally all I was going to do was rebuild the cam and put it back on the road, but my old school brain cells kept looking at everything that was just so wrong with it and just have to put it right as it should be. I want something that will not only turn heads but be something to be proud off! 8) :)
Pops400:
Like it. Was watching 21 Days Under The Sky at the weekend. This would have fitted right in. ;D

1/5/16
I decided to sand down the edges of the fins as they looked a bit rough, polished up a treat with some good old elbow grease.
Started the final strip down.
Frame is now having all the welds that couldn't be reached welded up neatly and all dressed, and some frame gussets inserted as a last minute decision. Then going to get the frame and tins shot blasted, then it's off to the painters to make it all pretty. Getting stoked on this now!
