If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Do you suppose that maybe...just maybe..next spring we can both ride our skunks together?? I would schedule the time to come back to MI just for that weekend of pleasure to share it with you.
Why, absolutely Chuck! I might even make it down there. I would have to trailer it of course. But not because I'd want it to be a trailer Queen, it's because my back won't take the long haul.
We got some excellent twisties..we went today and had 4 riders. Put on 210 miles on the 1000 C.
Good, be great to watch the progress.
Still waiting for mine to show up Chuck....

Well soon as i get my second skunk done i plan on selling it.. I got a guy that says hes interested but if tht falls thru i will for sure let you have first dibs. So start selling lots of parts and start saving.
Have to admit that's not exactly what I had in mind...
Well i can throw some pigeon crap on it if you would prefer...LOL.
Has been a few days. Anything to report??? Pics??
It Finally was a nice day to paint. 78 degrees and low humidity; just perfect!!!
I blew it off with the air hose, scuffed up what little surface rust had accumulated while it 'sat' in my dining room, waiting to be primed. sprayed down the bare metal with DX320 wax and grease remover, then while it was still wet, I wiped that off with some clean white rags. gave it a once over with the air hose, choked my full size gun down to about 4" and shot it with DPLF epoxy primer. it took all of about 5 Oz to cover it using my Astro Pneumatic EVO4014.
Fresh off the gun...

You have a good inline drier on the hose?? And remember to keep then tank drained.
Nope... I open the drain on the tank a bit, let the compressor run for a while to drain the tank really well, then let the compressor cool down completely! when I'm all set to go, the tank is tipped up so the drain is at the lower end, crack open the drain and spray away. I did the same thing when I shot the front end on the modified, the front end on the late model and my '78 Honda. that is why I waited till the humidity was only 15%. but, as always...YMMV...
The plan is to shoot the top coat this Saturday morning in a booth.
just so you know, DPLF can be top coated anytime up to 7 days and that's the reason I chose to use it.

Your mileage may vary.

Come on, Chuck, let's get with the program.
You called me out a few days ago because I did not understand some texting shortcuts.
Now there's a rather common one tossed out and YOU don't get it?

I feel another master piece coming on here.
Watching with interest.

Stan, I don't know about being a masterpiece, but I will guarantee it will be done to the best of my abilities. like most people here I have no special skills, just patience.
how about a bit of inspiration for all those long hours you will be putting into Jennifer?

Thank's Ed! Coming from you I know that's a compliment I can trust.
I will say, I didn't know what I was missing until I shot epoxy primer; I love the stuff!
I still need to fill the areas which were pitted from rust and hit those spots again. I wish I had a good mini gun; maneuvering a full size gun inside the frame is difficult at best.
