My M1 restoration

Retro Newbie
Well have it a long way from 4 weeks ago, plenty more to go. Today I picked out tbe main frame color a d decided on the rear linkage..
I know these pics might be second run but wanted to get 1 thread going for it.

1997 intense no longer going yellow, but instead it will be candy apple red chrome powder coat. After a $3500 dollar estimate to chrome it and several rejections on anodizing the entire thing i called a powdercoater.

Looking forward to seeing this progress! I think I'm just about ready for paint on mine as well. The mock up stage was more work than I expected, but it's almost there.
 
This is the exact color it will be, chrome candy apple red for the main grain and the linkage is gonna be Chrome black
