Matey, you shouldn't have to be sanding anything back, if you're not happy, tell him to do it again.
Remember what I said about SBD, I won't say I told you so, but......

You don't need to tell me, I know :) it was half the price of going to SBD. There is one wrinkle you can see and tbh? I can totally live with that. I'm fully aware that you get what you pay for, but I am balls deep into this thing (too deep tbh, never touching anything even remotely old again) and didn't want to up the cost any more. The rest of the frame and fork are perfect. If this were a Hutch, or something remotely exotic (given on what you see as exotic) then yeah deffo would have sent to Dan.
It's a 90% unoriginal Burner. I came to terms with that the day the frame arrived and I started trying to find original parts. :LolLolLolLol:
Progress.

Is where it sits. Not starting until the postman has been because I was mid fitting the BB and had a big dollop of grease on my finger when he rang the doorbell yesterday :LolLolLolLol:
I forgot to mention what happened with the ped traps. Firstly they were not ano as I found out after soaking them in caustic soda solution for nearly an hour. I found out they were painted. Then I found out why they were painted. After about an hour of Dremel/wire brush this is what I gots.
They are cast. Ironically about two days after I did the first trap I found a post somewhere saying that if alu was cast it looks like that :LolLolLolLol: Oh well, "I've started so I'll finish" but I have ordered this to lay down a base before I paint on the blue.
Midschoolfool:
Nearly there.
