Body Panels not so good on all of them

---

So while waiting to get to painting I decided to take inventory of the body panels to see what is good, bad and or needs to be fixed or replaced....

the good, are the front fenders, and the large side panels, except one has a nub missing, this I can easily get fixed up.

the bad, is just about every other panel, broken, cracked, chunks missing and so on.....

I guess after over 25 years parts get damaged by those who don't care, and now I need to fix and or source out some replacement parts, somehow somewhere....

Maybe I just run the bike naked......

prepped parts

---

Well got some more parts prepped for painting, figured might as well prep everything first and then paint all at once, I am limited to the cheap paint brushes I have, and I don't want to stink up the house many times, hopefully just once, well maybe twice....LOL

So lets just add to the pile....

prepped frame for painting

---

Well, it's back on once again, finally had some time today, and the weather was somewhat warm enough to venture into the unheated garage and do a bit of work. Today I took a sponge sanding block and went over the entire frame to smooth it out a touch, I then hit the entire frame with the wire wheel, and then used the POR products to clean the entire frame and prep it for painting. Even though it was cold out I think it worked very well, probably not as well as if it was nice and warm, but it was above freezing today, nothing froze, and once the chemicals did their thing, I rinsed the frame down and brought it into the house. Have to let it dry or as POR say the patr must be bone dry.....LOL

So it's in the basement, and drying out....and getting warm, I will wait a day or two, and put it on the painters tarp I have, and paint indoors, it's too cold still outside and it won't get warm anytime soon....

I just hope the POR paint won't stink up the house too much....I will paint let dry a bit and take it out to the garage to cure until I am ready to start adding parts back to it, I am sure curing in the cold garage will be OK....

Well a few pics of a clean frame
