Stage 1Here is Stage 1 of my project, cleaning everything up, trying to fit the motor in the frame, and polishing my sidecases. (Pictures Below) 
Here's the frame with my Engine (Minus the rocker cover because it wouldn't fit in with it on) And my hand polished side case I worked while watching the news on the Sep. 11th tradgedy...

Click to Enlarge As you can see the alignment of the motor in the frame is quite poor...Thats all the better I could do at the moment without having the frame cut up. I'm pretty sure my sprockets will line up.

Click to Enlarge And there is my poor, poor, excuse of a swingarm. Its gonna hopefully be sandblasted, and painted Aluminum Gray. Also thinking about getting a +2 axel. 
Click to Enlarge And theres my spare motor I have. The rod is bent and its loose on the crank, so its definetly not a option to use. But its got a few spare parts I can use.

Click to Enlarge And heres a closeup of my case I worked my arse off on. I used 80 grit sandpaper all around it first to get the paint and the deep scratchs out. Then I took 320 and when around it alot to get it nice a smoothed out. Then I applied about 3 coats of "Mothers mag and alumnim polish" I got it at my local Nappa dealer. 
Click to Enlarge And heres my other Case I'm working on. Its got alot more deeper scratches that I'm trying to work out with my 80 grit sand paper. Its got alot more sanding to be done to it before it starts getting the finer sand paper and the actual polish. Well, thats it for Stage 1. Keep checking back to see how far I'm getting to completeing my "Monster" |
