So the second coat of paint went on great. Had a couple of dust particles but I am ok with it since it is the best I could do. And if it ever gets to bothering me that much it I will just change the color. But I am pretty pleased with how it is coming together.
Originally from everywhere (raised in a military family) I received my BFA from The University of Florida and my MFA from The University of Georgia. I am currently living in Georgetown Kentucky where I am a Professor of Sculpture at Georgetown College.
Hopefully if you are restoring a old vespa or lambretta or whatever you can find my findings useful but more than that I hope whoever stumbles across this will just enjoy seeing something discarded changed into something worth passing down

My intention with this is to keep a record of what I have done and how I have been affected by working on my Vespa PK50. There was a prophet in the old testament of the bible named Elijah and he did these crazy "action sermons" were he would do things and share and show the meanings to those around him. I see PK as an "action sermon" that I am meant to give to myself. I must take it apart piece by piece down to its simplest means and clean off each piece and replace the broken parts. I must heat and bend the body into what I want it to be. I am making everything from scratch that I can including the tools to work with, and I have no idea what I am doing.
