Amen to that!

I am trying to do my best while keeping it fun
I hope you understand how much enjoyment we're having with your detailed progress. There aren't many people who could or would do what you're doing and it's a real pleasure to be along for the ride. Thank you for sharing. Seriously.
This is a little off topic but if you really enjoy this type of extensive rebuild/refurb then you might want to take a look at Netflix's Plane Restoration series, especially the P51 and the Hurricane episodes. Similar to our OP, these people are masters at what they do and their finished work is truly amazing.

I can understand the typical desire to get the internal parts repaired/replaced as needed and get the bike up and running properly.
But Error— the degree to which you are cleaning and refinishing this bike is astounding. A true restoration that will probably fool most riders as to its vintage. And you're having fun while doing it. A win-win.

Yes hopefully i will be working on them next week after the engine is done. I like keeping things simple and original.Will paint the body with candy red or something similar to that.Thinking about matte dark grey or glossy black on the forks. Probably go with the black to match with the plastic part above the headlight. Also little potion of the forks can be seen from outside so i wouldn't like a contrast color there because there will be more than 3 colors already showing in the area like body,wheel,brakes,chrome..so don't want things to mix up,i want it to blend in. But it is relative.Error, in an earlier post you mentioned taking care of the forks at a later time. Have you thought of what paint you would use and the color?
