wow mate that paint is absolutely tremendous one smart as hell lc what paint did you use one the side casings or they powder coated I used high temp bbq paint. Not that I needed to. But I liked the satin look to it especially against the gloss yamaha plastic cover..thanks for the kind words.

This is a piece of art, far better than a lot "profesional" paintjobs I have seen.
I'm impressed!

I've been following your rebuild for a while.
It is all quality stuff, but for me the bespoke belly pan mould with the return lip on the edge is perfection.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished article, I have a YPVS lined up for my next project, and am in two minds whether to go for a full fairing or something like yours.

I've spent all night reading your fantastic thread, I bought a 31k 2 weeks ago I last had on 30 years ago, there could be no more inspiration than what you have managed to do with your bike, one of the previous comments was beautiful got to agree with that, I haven't read loads of threads I only joined last night but this one has just had me spellbound, really looking forward to seeing the final results, can't wait to start on mine

having seen some fantastic bikes at the forum bbq....a decision has been made on my wheels...I think with all the yellow of the bodywork .yellow wheels will be too much. So its black with yellow rim tape............less is more. You cant beat a bit of plagiarism can you.

Just stumbled aross this rebuild.You are an awesome inspiration and an obviously talented bloke. Plus you worked on,in my opinion,the most beautiful,evocative piece of engineering ever created'the Spitfire'! Thanks for the engineering porn!!
