            Got the new mirror set and front master cylinder today. Gonna go thru the master and clean it out this weekend and bleed the brakes. Z1 has the airbox to carb boot set and sprockets and chain. Think Im gonna run IRC tires with the vintage tread patterns on it. Should have the cash for the rest of the parts and tires next week. Its getting closer!!!!

                    Cant sling any color till the decal kit shows up. If not next week it will for sure be here the following week at some point. Just in a holding pattern right now.

                      Chuck,

                      I like to lay down the color and two layers of clear before decals. Scuff with a gray scotchbrite and then lay down the decals, followed by more clear. Works perfectly.

                        Thats what my buddy who manages the paint store said. But still need to wait on decals due to the time period before the paint closes. If I do it before the 24 hrs time frame expires I wont have to sand the clear. least thats my theory on it. Do the clear, lay the decals, then lay more clear over top.

                          Chuck,
                          Sanding the clear and then applying the decals will assure your final clear layers will go down on a perfectly flat surface which improves clear coat smoothness.

                          You don't need to hurry either. Once the base coat is sealed over you can take your time before the final clear. Some guys recommend allowing the decals to out gas for a day before clearing.

                                Used Ebay front brake lines came today and they are installed and I now have front stoppage. Put the speedo cable on too. I found a place in OKC that claim if I bring the old lines in they can copy them. I now have a set of clogged up ones that I will be taking to them and see how they do. If they can make them with DOT plain rubber then I will have a source for anything that comes my way.
