More on the "Fuck." drama later.
Meanwhile, work on my bike grinds inexorably forward...
I started laying out the framework for the seat:



More sandblasting:

Hours and hours of sanding with 180 grit emery cloth on the frame, swingarm, and center stand and it's about ready for primer:




Primed everything and started painting:






Head taped up prior to sandblasting:

After blasting (and washing and washing and washing):

Chopstick whittled down to make a valve guide reamer:


Painting in progress:

UPDATE:
Breathe deep, everybody! Whewwww!
