Sandy Duncan

I spent the wee hours of the morning last night sanding, cleaning, and taping off the frame:

The taping was the most tedious part. I had to be very careful to cover anything that could potentially be damaged by painting. Little screws that might need to be removed someday, instrument panels, even the original serial number plate, a flimsy metal sticker... That little plate has all the information that confirms the authenticity of the bike, including the original manufacture date, October 1979!

Thanks guys, I finished all the spraying last night. I applied one "science machine" logo to the left side legshield, and a stenciled number "23" to the back right cowl. Despite a tiny bit of "overspray" on the stencils everything went without a hitch.
I think the imperfect nature of the stencils add to the charm.

Tonight I rebuild the bike.
