I finally picked my wild wolf from Georges house. He generously harbored it for me since Ashtebula. Thank you Drew and Jeff again. I truly love this machine. I did 1/2 to provide some perspective. More to come....frame has been degreased as have the sprockets. They are going to the bead blaster on Sat.

Started with the 80 grit and the DA sander. Went to 120, then 220grit. Still need to 220 the back. The detail work is being done by hand with a sanding block. More to come mid week

Looks to be shining up real well Pat. I'm not seeing those type of results using sandpaper. I'm trying some scotchbrite pads now. The oxidation or whatever it is that happens to the ABS is quite severe.

Think you will have this one ready for Ashtabula in June 2014?

so I am down to wet sanding with the 600 grit now. Stsrting to come together. Getting around the lights and the back grate is proving to be a challenge. The devil is in the details. Almost ready to start on the inside. More to come.

That's some progress there Pat!
