Not much to report Jake. Last week HF promised to return the radio soon so not much to do now. Sunday I took it for a shake down run, everything ran out great, solid 180 degrees on a 90 degree day, all good! Body is amazingly tight for having been off the frame.

Brian broke out the clay bar and fine compound on a fender with spectacular results, more on that to come. - Bill W

We got on the paint yesterday. It was suffering from oxidation along with spots and stains from various contaminants.

By the time I got there Brian had been over it with the clay bar and was on it with the 5" buffer. I followed up with the sealer and wax and cleaning the gaps.
Results are rather dramatic! Next up, bumpers, wheel covers, tires and glass.

Still waiting on the radio Need it back for a special event in August. - Bill W
