I will post a notice here, upon photo posting  updates.  Check back often as this restoration will be done 100% and will be completed in
a timely fashion.  Steve Reed will be doing most of the restoration work and Richard Clark will be supplying all the parts.  Chrome plating will be sourced
at a outside company.

Hi Steve and Richard,

This is going to be a great addition to the site. Will give everyone motivation to do their work. By the way Steve I dropped a kicker return spring in the mail today. Should reach you in a couple days. Talk to you soon. Good job.

This will be great to watch, maybe it will inspire me to get off my butt and start one myself. Luke

The slide show feature is great for looking at the restoration pictures, as if you change the sort to assending, it is even better. Luke

New photos have been posted:  Frame going to the power coating company.

When we start doing the restoration itself, we will divide the cycle up into many small restoration projects and tackle them as their own
restorations. For example, the shocks, will be in a section by them selves, talking about and showing their restorations. This way the entire project will
not seem so large. and when we are done with that small section, we can congratulate ourselves with something being DONE

Hi Richard and Steve,
Looks like everything is moving along nicely on the restorations. I am sure that Steve is going full blast. When finished you are going to each have one of the nicest 350's around. Looking forward to seeing ongoing photos of the restorations.

I have never had any chrome work done, tell me more about it? Please?
Here is Alaska I do not know of any chrome business. I am just like all
the BS guys, need lots of parts chromed. Luke

[bridgestonesforever]

Great Chrome explanation, many thanks to you Richard, now I understand some of the work that therefore expense involved with chrome: I think it is great you put your story in a section where people can find it late. Luke
