We are now at the point where some waiting is required. Shortly students will have the chance to submit designs for paint schemes for consideration. Not sure how many options we'll get, which will have an impact on how we determine our final design. The chassis parts need a bit more work, but that involves some welding, so Mr. S will take those pieces home to finish there. When we have an idea of the frame and swingarm colors, they will go off to get sandblasted and powdercoated, so a reassembly can begin.
As a result, the updates to the blog might slow down somewhat in the next while. Please stay tuned and check back when you can!

More cutting and grinding
Still more work on the frame removing the unnecessary tabs and brackets.
A few of the tabs were removed the last time the Kids Cafe met, but some jagged edges were still present. We started off with some work using the grinding wheel...
And then switched to the cutting wheel to take off the big chunks. The whole time we needed to be careful not to cut into the frame tube itself, or mar any of the nearby brackets we were going to use for the rebuild.
Not much for an hour's + work, but when it is all back together, painted, and finished, the frame will have a nice clean look.
