Hi
A very good friend of mine and I have spent most of Saturday panel beating the bent parts of the Harley-Davidson. Some of the body panels needed a little bit of work to fit nicely, while the odd part needed some more straightening.
The front fender, rear fender, front stand, rear stand, battery box, etc., now fits beautifully. I can now start with the preparation for painting / parkerizing and the painting / parkerizing.

| And so do the rear stand! |
Talking about painting - I have come across a 2nd World War steel helmet used by the Union Defence Force of South Africa on Bid or Buy. I have bought the steel helmet, as I want to use it when I drive with the bike (once it has been restored). This helmet was painted a Desert Khaki.

I have used the helmet to mix the Desert Khaki colour that I want to paint the bike with.
I have also started with sand blasting the first parts that I want to paint or parkerize.

| The Rear Axle, nicely sand-blasted. Ready to be Parkerized! |
