Still plugging along

 Hello everyone,

Yep, still plugging along. Not done painting the house just yet but hope to be finished this weekend. Leaving Wednesday for the trip to Canada, so I’d really like to be finished up before we go.

We’ll be gone to Canada about three weeks, give or take. When we get back it’s going to be wood cutting time. After that, hopefully, motorcycle building time!

I did pickup an ignition switch for the bike and I got word from the builder that the starter kit is done. I won’t bother the engine builder probably until we get back. I still haven’t decided about paint or powder coating for the frame, but I do have to weld up a couple of things first, so I have a little time.

Well, I think that’s it for now, talk to you soon,

Still progressing

 Hello everyone,

Just another quick note. Still painting the house, finished up the garage/ shop part and started on the back of the body of the house. Still not sure how I’m going to do the second story yet but, I’ll cross that bridge when i get there.

Not much to report on the bike, got a few random parts, the actual starter to fit the kit, the coil for the ignition, the correct studs to mount the coil. I did ask a few friends to look for some material to mount the coil. The frame I have for the bike isn’t a panhead frame, so it doesn't have the blocks to mount the coil. I’ll show them when i make and weld them to the bike.

Well, i think that’s all for now.

Talk to you soon,
