The pin striper finally arrived from 1979 to do his thing. I can't wait to see everything with the clear coat, all buffed up.

Ill bet that heater & the AC do great out there in that Zero Insulation building. If I get 3 feet from the wood stove in my shop, I cant even tell its lit. I just fire up the heater & get in front of it when IM too cold to do anything. When the feet get too cold, its time to warm up.

I wonder if that guy ever smoked any pot.

As  long as he smoked enough pot, it should be flawless!

Actually, if he messed up, he has the right solvent to wipe it off without bothering the base paint.

I knew a guy once who had some pin stripin' done.
Said this old drunk walked up with trembling hands with a brush in his hand... my buddy starts to sweat, says hey is he alright? owner of the shop just says wait you'll see.  As soon as mr dt touches brush to paint the tremblin stops and he lays down a perfectly straight line.  Best job he's ever seen.

Spent some time shortening the left side control wires. I had to cut back the sleeve quite a bit and unbundle things, what with branches for the turn signals, horn and some mystery connector.

I think the wires must have spent a previous life as Christmas lights. Either that or the folks working the wiring harness production line like to break the boredom by randomly tangling the wires.

I think I figured out how to handle the crankcase breather. I found a corrosion-resistant  industrial breather.



The inside diameter is a perfect match for the outside diameter of the stock breather tube. I epoxied the breather to the tube and then tidied it up with some heat shrink.



I positioned it so that whatever happens to blow past the breather filter has a good chance of being sucked toward the air filter, which will be oiled anyway.

I had a feeling he had something to remove any blemishes.. but still, micro work like still makes the hair on my neck stand, because it has to be perfect Cheesy
