Title: painted the frame today
Post by: Afzzr12 on January 14, 2007, 08:36:49 PM
Here it is.  I used the good old Plastikote spay paint.  Of course I sanded away all the old before putting on the new (that SUCKED :2guns:).  But it looks a lot better than it did.  Sorry I don't have any before pics.  Now just to get the motot right 8).  Then the daunting electrical gremlins :mad: to come after that....wish me luck.

My garage looked like a meat locker.  Only instead of meat it was bike parts hanging.

yeah I can't wait to get it together. 

What do yo mean Boondockers?  Call me slow, but I'm not catching on.


edit:  ok I get it now.  My ugly old uniform boots.  Yes, those are military issue steel toes.  They are still comfy so I wear them.

They looked familiar.  Boondockers are what the Navy wears, still got mine, too; still comfy after years of use.
