Day 3 - Finishing seat plunger and seat

Stand back, it's looking like a bike. Notice my springer up front. I've got to parkerize those springs.
Not much work done today as I have to go to my real job tonight. I painted the seat T with black epoxy paint. I used it on a linkert carb and it seems to be a very "authentic" looking paint. It's called VHT (Very high temp??) I also had to ream out the seat perch mounting hole for the seat. The pin wouldn't fit through it at all. It fits nicely now and seems to work well. I also mounted the front of the seat T to the frame without much incident except more paint flaking off at points of contact with the seat T. You can't really see it now that it's all installed. Here are some pics!
