Thanks Mr. Rainford,
I'm just making good use of my rainy days out here in CA. I am very excited about this T1 rebuild.

You are welcome. Following along....
Keep up the great work. It's quite motivational just when I think I've completed a build something like yours comes along and it's back to the drawing board for me....

Like the use of the jb weld very good stuff.

Precision fabrication work Burgy, very impressive. It's also interesting to see how you work the brass to get there, too.

Thanks Raminator!!!! I have learned a few tricks over the years, but I am continuously learning new things from other tankers. I enjoy implementing new techniques that other tankers have used and I hope that at some point my posts will help someone when they are wondering how to.... I know many times i've been that guy going loony trying to research something and posts like this have help me many times. At the same time I am completely open to criticism if I get something wrong or if someone has an easier/better way. My biggest hurdle will be the electronics part, as I'm not much of a wiz at that portion. I'm good with plug and play stuff, but when it comes to customizing electronics I have a TON to learn!!

Rear brass fender frames in place.

Remember kids, not all rear fender frames line up exactly on the same plane as the side skirts. In this case you can see the variation between the two positions. :)

Another example of this build point.

Rear tow hitch removed to replace with more detailed one.

Slow but sure...still working toward the final goal
