I´m an engineering student who got one that had been painted with a roller to say the least, for free. I´m giving it a frame up/off with powdercoated frame and hand polishing some of the aluminum. Goal is 50´s style japanese cruiser. Red rims, no chrome, pinstripes? etc. but with class, no rats here, completion target 5 weeks. By the way to the guys that had them when they were new, chicks still dig em thanks for keeping some alive.
