1972 Honda CB500 Four project bike part 7, striping to bare frame, plus buffing parts

[@ihrescue]

Happy Thanksgiving. Nothing like a good project that allows for taken something apart and rebuilding. Hope you enjoy the work.

[@OldCarAlley]

Yep, I really enjoy fooling around in the garage in my spare time working on a project. Happy Thanksgiving

Looking great. I picked up a bucket list bike from my youth last Sunday. 1985 Kawasaki. Will be doing a full restoration on it. Looking to start work after Thanksgiving. Have a wonderful holiday.

[@OldCarAlley]

Nice. Happy Thanksgiving

Be too nice to ride 🙂. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

[@OldCarAlley]

I am fixing it to ride.... no fun to just look at. I just like fooling around in the garage during winter making chicken salad out of chicken crap.... it feels good and is very rewarding when finished. Happy Thanksgiving

That bike will look great with your resto,used modeler paint with fine brush on some detail restos on my cars. The bike will look like 1972 in the showroom! Happy Thanksgiving,and all the best!!!

[@OldCarAlley]

I'v used Testors on emblems and things like this for 40+ years. The stuff holds up well, very durable paint.

[@kevinhawley8803]

GO LIONS! Enjoy the game Howard!

[@OldCarAlley]

I never watch TV..... so no Lions game for me, though my neighbor is having a game party.

[@t-rodzgarage]

That's gonna be a sharp looking bike ! Happy Thanksgiving Howard !🦃🦃

[@OldCarAlley]

Yeah the engine turned out better than I expected. Now to make the rest of the bike look as good. Happy Thanksgiving

[@rloewen11]

Hey Howard - Happy US Thanksgiving from up here in Canada! I envy your ability to do stuff like that meticulous painting. I used to be able to do that, but can't seem to come up with the required patience anymore.

[@OldCarAlley]

I'v always enjoyed fooling around doing things like this a lot.

[@majorpayne5289]

Happy Thanksgiving Howard!

[@OldCarAlley]

Happy Thanksgiving

[@peteralcorn6453]

All looking really great Howard. Out riding my XL & then the CB after, lovely dry fine day. Hope its the start of a good summer for riding. PeterNZ

[@OldCarAlley]

You sound like me, I had my XL out the other day.... What XL & CB do you have? I'm enjoying working on the CB500, gives me something to do during boring winters, but also looking forward to taking it for a ride.

[@peteralcorn6453]

72 motosport 250 & 96 CB1000

[@OldCarAlley]

@@peteralcorn6453 Nice... I really like the XL250. I can cruise 55-60 mph or putt through the woods on it, A great all around bike.

[@Martin48964]

The CB500 is certainly on her way to becoming a great looking bike. Happy Thanksgiving to you, Jeremy and your American viewers!

[@OldCarAlley]

Im very happy with how the engine looks. I guess wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving is useless, as it's only a US holiday...... but have a feast anyway and a great November 28th! Hard to believe it's almost another year passing by.

[@Martin48964]

​@@OldCarAlley I'll back date those wishes 6 weeks as our Thanksgiving was October 14th. Dont eat to much turkey today! Time goes by quicker and quicker as we age. (Or it seems too!) I hope you have a productive weekend doing what you do best. Always great seeing the progress on the bike!

[@OldCarAlley]

@@Martin48964 I'm not a turkey fan, in fact I avoid turkey! I do like the ham though. I'm making my sweet potato casserole to take to dinner this afternoon. Happy belated Thanksgiving for my Canadian viewers.

[@EnthusiasticTruck-xh7ss]

I got a new tablet so I don't remember which ones I watched and which ones I didn't but that's all good all your videos are real good thank you again for the video

[@OldCarAlley]

Enjoy your new tablet. It always a treat getting a new up to date gadget!

[@ZPDSurvival]

That motor looks beautiful. End of summer I picked up an 83 CB450 Nighthawk. Got it running nice after working on it. Very Cool Motor.

[@ZPDSurvival]

I wondering about the other wheel on the machine. Not the typical polisher with compound. Although you lead me down the path of finding other wheels today. That is good. My bikes are running and I've got them Insured and plated. The next level is full detail. Just like you are doing. Cheers.

[@OldCarAlley]

One wheel is stitched tight, making it good for cutting with course compounds, the other wheel is fluffy and great for finial polishing with the finer compounds. I got the buffing compounds from Harbor Freight too. There sticks that come in a tube. I use the gray compound on the left wheel, green on the right wheel.

[@ZPDSurvival]

@@OldCarAlley Thank You. I will be doing more detail work over the winter.
