Footpegs in the process of being re-zinc plated

I see a fly landed on the side panel.

Bawb,
Awesome, as always! After straining to see which type of footpegs it had, I realized after looking closer at the 2nd pic that you hadn't installed them yet. Man it's tough to get old! Mike

I enjoy rebuilding and appreciating Pentons!

Hi Bob, where did you get the center stripe for the tank?  I need one for Jarrin's bike.  Nice work!

Thanks for the compliments guys.
If you'd like me to run through what was done to this machine, to get it in this condition, I don't mind, just ask.

Michael - wait until you see the '77 Penton MC5 400 that will be completed next week - Oooo-la-la ! [:p]

Mick, the center stripe on this bike is original. I'd check with Skip Miller, his number is in SKT.

Thanks, Bob
