There Ya go!!

It’s been a while since I updated this. I have been working on it, just haven’t had much worth posting about recently. I ended up re-redoing the dash because the primer lifted in a few spots. I think there was an issue with the primer I used the first time, back in 2018. It probably would have been ok if I just sanded those spots out and reprimed it, but I decided to sand all of the old primer off, back down to the factory paint. I shouldn’t have any more issues with it now. I got the hood hinge and headlight panel sandblasted and primed as well.

I took the tires off the rear wheels so they could be sandblasted. I got one blasted and primed it yesterday. I should have the other one done this week too.

I got the gas tank in primer yesterday too. I have 3 of these tanks, this one had a few small dents on the outside, but it was really clean inside. The other two were nicer on the outside, but had rust inside. I have a few NOS gas caps, so I put one of them on too.

Looking good! I had and loved and for stupid reasons had to sell my 149. Been looking for one. Looking forward on your build!

Thank you! Sorry to hear you had to sell yours, hopefully you can find another one soon.

I got the other rear wheel, gas tank straps, and side panels in primer today. At this point, I think the only two things I have left are the seat and hood support panel, then everything will be ready for paint.

I got a few more parts in primer. All but the hood support panel on the far left are yellow. That is all of the yellow parts that need to be painted. The last thing I have to get ready is the back of the seat, then all of the white parts will be ready for paint too.

Lots of really good progress.

That's the cleanest looking gas tank I've ever seen!!

Good work!

Thanks John! I got that gas tank with a parts tractor, I was surprised how clean it was. I have one more that has a little bit of rust just starting inside, but still pretty clean. The one that I originally bought for this project had a lot of rust in it, and is probably not even worth trying to salvage.
