Small update today. The frame is welded and waiting for me to get the flapper wheel onto the angle grinder and smooth out the heavier slag from the flux welding. I will say, very impressed with how it handled the job. I will put up pictures when its all ready, maybe Tuesday (day off).

Today I spent a little time before work brushing and buffing the front hub and rim. I'm going to go with a brushed raw metal finish on the wheels, tank, and rear fender with a matte clear coat over it for protection. Stainless spokes for the front wheel will arrive Wednesday and hopefully by the end of the week I will have the front wheel together. Still need to get the rear hub apart in order to replace the left wheel bearing.
