71' Honda CB350 build

After dipping my hair in paint heres what the tail and headlamp bucket look like. I decided to memorialize my lil brother on the tail by putting his name, birth and death date on the tail. He passed away only three weeks ago and he's all i can think about these days. I miss him. Forever young.

Never done pin striping before but this is fun. :) going to let this dry and do more tomorrow. The sides are seafoam and the top is bare metal. Im going to sand the metal more then clear coat it all.

Drying this paint takes a bit.....

So i read a bunch about things that clean chrome and stumbled across this stuff and bought it on eBay. Best dollars spent!!! Detailed my old headlight and its sooooo shiny now.

Heres a photo of the primer im using along with matching brand paint and gloss. I wanted the most heavy duty stuff i could get and all the searches pointed to this. These paints are used to paint industrial machinery and engines. Sounds good to me.

Primer selfie. Just so everyone knows. I have no garage to do this in. Just a small back stoop and a kitchen. It can be difficult and sometimes cramped but i work with what i got. I have a deadline to meet.....

Finally got some extra time to devote to my bike this weekend. About to tape off and prime.

I may have to read up a little on getting these things to separate. Holy shit its awkward.

Back at it working on the honda again today. Small problem.... Cant find my other clip on....

See you never! Sanding forever!!

Bondo time...

Another good mail day. Now to clean the engine and all chrome parts i will be keeping for the cafe.

Also got some air filters in the mail today.

Got some parts out of storage. Tore apart the seat. I need the base pan for my seat pan. :)

Tested out the fit. perfect.

The seat pan arrived yesterday.
