    well after spending many many hours stripping the paint from the shovelhead frame that I am painting for some folks, I have it in the booth now waiting for the etch to cure so I can prime it.

    and as I walk out of the booth, I see my ironhead sitting there all lonely, so I finally got back to work on it.
    I had the frame sandblasted to remove the paint, and it left it feeling like 120 grit sandpaper. so I have spent the last 2 hours or so with a brass wire wheel in my grinder smoothing it out again.

    I know I said I was going to do the whole thing the "old fassion" way, and not use power tools, but screw it :)

    I also used a flapwheel on the grinder and smoothed out some casting seams, and areas where the welds were built up really high and ugly.

    can't wait to get a job so I can get back on this thing

        Its no sin if ya can do the same thing faster. Now if you over cut because you get so ambitious with all that power thats a problem. Bein able to work hand tools is always a great thing to learn though. I know some people would kill theyselves with a framin hammer tryin to get a nail in. But you can put nails in with an air nailer youd never get to with a hammer.
