Now, wait for a few days while I clean the components in preparation for assembly. For now, the Torpado frame is looking pretty good. I do have two small spots to touch up but the repair is a snap. The fenders will need another coat, probably tomorrow. Anyway, still some tidying up of the lug work but the effort is beginning to pay off...


Most of the luquid masking material was removed with my thumb nail. I still have some cleaning and edging (not sure what else to call it) to do, but all in all, not a bad home based brushed on paint job. And done in the mud room, at the back of the house, with minimal mess. There was, however, an odor associated with the effort...


I pan to buy some new tape. This stuff looks pretty good but my confidence in the adhesive backing is low (the tape is old - new when I bought it, but old now)...
