I thought it was about time I updated on my 1956 RR project....
I posted this earlier this year:-
"I am starting to gather the bits together for this year's project, a 1956 Road Rocket. I have decided to nick the engine out of my RGS copy as that has the correct stampings for the year then I'll build a DA10R engine for the RGS copy so both bikes will look correct(ish). I think I've got everything I need so it's just a case of putting things in piles for chrome plating, powder coating, zinc plating, and two pack. I have a mate who will paint the tinware. Heavy stuff, for powder coating, gets farmed out. Hoping to have it done by autumn. I bought some chrome mudguards from India which have turned out to be dreadful but I'll see if I can do something with them. If I can't I'll either use standard guards painted red or Gold Star guards from Autocycle."
No chance of having it done by the autumn as, thankfully, life is still getting in the way! But, I've just got the black bits back from the powder coaters and the frame's been strapped to the wooden toolbox on wheels, which is how all my projects start. Is sometime next year a reasonable target?
