Nothing happening worth pictures, really. Ended up out of town most of the weekend so I didn't get anything done then. Just picked up some steel and shoulder bolts for the seat mounts. I'm painting the custom metal covers/brackets tonight and tomorrow. Thurs I'll be put of town. Friday night I hope to get the primary buttoned up. Sat/Sun are about half booked but it would be nice to squeeze in enough time to get the seat mounts fabbed and welded, then I can paint the bare spots on the frame. With a little luck I can roll it out of the garage for a quick shakedown sometime next week. Hopefully the wet weather breaks.
Worst pics ever! It's basically dark out...
Primer on the electrical cover. Sand and finish paint tomorrow.
Starter was looking pretty ragged so I hit it with some HD "texture black" while I had it open to do the carb brackets.
I also did the electrical backing plate and top engine mount. They're hanging on hooks with the carb brackets in the garage

After three days of dicking around (daily post 1 daily post 2), I finally got the primary buttoned up. Primary chain is adjusted. Clutch is adjusted. I still need to add fluids and adjust the secondary chain tension before the drivetrain is done. Also need to wrinkle paint the inspection cover. I wasn't happy with the first application.
Sorry for the crappy pic. For some reason my garage lights make pictures over exposed or under exposed.
