Buffing and Polishing

Well it is raining again this week-end, so no painting or powder coating.

My compressor died last week-end so I am also down for this reason. I ordered new parts and hopefully I can be back in business next week-end.

We are making good progress with buffing, It really helps to have a son who recently graduated from UCSD with a degree in Computer Science, who can't get a job. I have put him to work doing all of the dirty cleaning and some of the buffing.

I am going to have the frame powder coated by a local shop, It would be too much to build a larger oven, cheaper to pay the $200.00 for frame.

I am almost ready to start in on the engine. I am going to leave the body fairings for the last project.

Here is a shot of the buffed chrome.

It is not perfect and I do not plan on removing every little nick to make a complete mirror finish. I could easily drop a few hundred more hours in buffing.
