Sorry, I don't have more updates yet... I need a new abrasive wheel for my grinder so I can continue with the project and I just have'nt gotten around to getting one yet. I thought I had gotten the last ones from the local hardware store, but I couldn't find the same thing there anymore. I really doing the prep with that kind of abrasive wheel because it is allot faster than sanding.
I finally got the abrasive wheel that I needed on Friday so I'm ready to continue with the project. It looks like I might get a day or two at home this week so hopefully I'll have some time to do the last painting;then, if all goes smoothly it may even be possible to get some of the parts put back on this weekend.
Here are a few photos of what I accomplished today. I'm a bit disappointed about the dented fenders, but there isn't much I can do about it. The footrest on the other side still needs to be sandblasted before it can be painted.
