The Rapido is progressing nicely. I blasted and painted the end caps on the air cleaner, re-installed the front fender and shined up the handlebars and the headlight rim. The grandson attacked the rust on the front rim with steel wool. He made quite a bit of progress but it'll never be new again. The rim on the rear wheel has been painted, I think that's what we're going to do on the front one as well. The boys have about three more weeks before they have to go back to school. I'm hoping we can have it running by then as well as having the rear fender and taillight blasted and painted. The muffler is rusted pretty badly and the rest of the bike could use a re-paint but as long as we get the bike running, I'm sure the grandson will be happy. We can always decide how much further we want to go with the restoration process later.
