I sand blasted underneath, then put two coats of primmer , three coats of black satin chasey paint. put on new gas tank, did away with the plastic aux it came with behind the back fender. .all new underneath. Had the original 4 speed tran, checked out and put back together. I found the first owner,he told me it was black.and the guy i bought it from he had it red.So i think i am going to go red with black strips.
