got the carb cleaned up,got the springer apart and realized the welds on the front legs were cracked right at the weld. no biggie.took the backing plate off to check the shoes and drum. its a little glazed but nothing i cant resurface. actually look pretty damn nice inside.he stator plate with the cover off. looks like someone got in there and put some modern day wires in. im gonna go through and solder the connections so there not crimped.heres the frame bare and ready for sand blasting.and heres the bundle of parts waitin on there trip tp the snad blaster and chromer.The plan is to sand blast all the parts, then the springer and some misc nuts and bolts and the bars are off to chrome. The wife decided to go with a copper micro flake base with root beer brown clear over that. and some mustard'ish gold'ish simple striping. gonna repaint the motor and polish the cover. and searchin out a luggage rack for the rear and some new fenders. then its on to reassembly!
