Title: hello from West Chester, Pennsylvania
Post by: mattsmith95 on July 24, 2011, 10:12:00 PM: I'm a brit bike guy at heart, but have a love and fascination with small 60's two strokes. I have a couple of scooters, a Hodaka Ace 100 (currently waiting for paint before re assembling) and a Bridgestone DT 175. Not sure what I'm going to do with the BS, as it has no title, but tuning it up a bit to make a race bike seems like a very appealing idea at this point.

The engine has been rebuilt as well as a new paint job. Now all I need is some missing parts and I'll be ready to reassemble. Harry

Who are you using for paint? I've not had much luck finding the right painter that will work with me on my restoration projects, and who can match the original candy colors that were used in the '60s and '70s.

My parts are on his website here: http://marblesmotors.com/Paint%20Services%20Other.htm (http://marblesmotors.com/Paint%20Services%20Other.htm)

Take a look and give him a call. Not cheap, but super quality.
