Yeah tell me about it. I have repainted things several times. Hoping once I get it out in the sun on some it will help it harden up some.

Just found these while putting the tour pak together.

I decided to sand the front fairing since you can see the old pinstripe still in certain spots. After much consideration I decided not to put the chrome windshield strip back on. And cleaned up the rest of the chrome. Going to the stealer to get a new headlight bezel.

It's a 12x30. Got it with our house just had some land cleared for the real shop. 60x60 with 2 lean toos on a 100x70 slab. Will have 1 truck/car lift and 2 MC lifts a 120 gl AC fully insulated with wood heater.

Please don't mind the mess outside of it. Lol

Dude that looks good! I won't lie when I started reading this thread I thought you had lost your Mississippi loving mind! But seriously I think it looks great and I can't wait to see the finished product. My brother lives in Long Beach MS and works for HollyWood Casino. I also have family in Terry Ms.

Thanks I been known to try things most people won't guess I'm no scared of screwing it up because then if just fix it. Now I will tell you this it will be getting a real paint job next yr. as stated before it is very soft and very prone to scratches. I have had to touch up a few spots already. And I'm starting to have a case of IDFCA (I don't f@$:ing care anymore) I just wanna ride.
