Looks excellent Shannon, awesome job.I think I'm getting a hard on. It wasn't want I wanted in the beginning, but it's looking damn good. I can't wait to get it out in the sum tomorrow and see what it really going to look like. Shot the clear on, then gave it a coat of red frost. Still need to sand it again and shoot more clear.

In the sun light the flames are almost gold, and the two different layers of ghost flames show up good.
Looking good.
If you did not live so far away. I should have taken you up on your offer to paint my Harley when I laid it down.
Ps I still didn't get around to that yet.

At some point we might need to talk about you painting my CJ. Its going to be a solid color though and I know you love solid colors..haha.
I actually have all the supplies and paint just no place setup for it. I've used my buddies shop before but couldn't keep the dust down.

When I used to paint cars I always kept the floor wet.

Lets just say, I'm on schedule. I have a lot of aluminum to polish, seat to redo, tire to change, brake light to build. I still have the engine to paint and polish out. Intake gaskets to change, and a carb to rebuild. I'm sure I'll find something else to do to it also.

Haven't got much done the last few days. Polished a few things, fixed the sissy bar mount, ordered a new tire and few things from the Kaptin. Started cleaning up the engine. Repainted the jugs, and I had oil seepage around the cam cover, so I pulled it off and resealed it. Readjusting the valves now. I guess while I'm waiting on lifters to bleed down, I'll pull the carb apart and clean it out.

Got a little more done today. Intake o-rings came it, so I got the engine back together. Instead of repainting it black, I went with cast iron. I think I like it better. Next year, I'll rebuild it and get new jugs.
Got the fenders and tanks sanded and buffed out. Start working on the brake lights tomorrow.

Decided to get rid of the googley eye driving lights.
And went with these.
I was waiting for glue to dry on the brake light lens, so I started on the front.
