Looking really good! I'm constantly thinking of more things to powder coat... Right now I just want to get stuff done so I can ride the rest of the year, but I have a feeling I'll be taking things apart again by winter...

The stripped and blasted tank...
still trying to decide in what order I want to do the rest of the work. Electrical, Engine internal, & Fab... I suppose I really should do the fab work first so the mess doesn't cause issues later.
Now, where to find some motivation? Lost my job of 22 years on May 31st. Planned "Reduction In Force" (aka, sent your job to Mexico) . Even tho I knew it was coming it's hitting me harder than expected. Oh well, I'll get back into a new groove soon enough.

$75 for the tank work. Plenty, but when the aircraft stripper failed and I saw all the paint down in the weld seams and **** I knew it was beyond me. So, money well spent.
It's been planned for quite a while and I got a fair severence so I'm cool. Planning to take the rest of the year off, wrapping up the bike, work on the Miata, and visit my family (TN & SoCal). Just having a tough time adjusting to the new reality with regard to schedule/motivation/purpose. I'll get there.
