Bondo Bondo

Today we tackled sand blasting the rear fender and the gas tanks.  Surprise....the fender has up to  quarter of an inch of Bondo under several coats of paint.  Didn't really see the need for so much Bondo as the fender is in pretty good shape underneath.  Some people just like the stuff I guess.  Rather than waste time paying for sand blasting time, Curtis decided to just blast the areas he needed in order to cut and modify the fender.  He plans on attacking the paint and Bondo with a wire wheel and angle grinder.  Same story with the tanks although not quite as much Bondo.  Those were blasted just enough for cutting and modifying.  We also managed to make up a parts list order necessary to complete the engine assembly.  We keep making progress.
