Joe leonardo 164 #82 Posted December 6, 2023 I'm going to sand and paint the hood today I got some rust olium regal red 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe leonardo 164 #83 Posted December 7, 2023 The hood is primered I'm gonna paint it tomorrow, also found out it does in fact not have any of the brake linkage so I got a source that also the left foot rest is completely hacked out so I need to find a new one. I found one on eBay for 10 bucks but the guy hasn't gotten back to me 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
