So for everyone who chimed in and provided some advice I want to thank you. I was able to get the bike components repainted. Its not perfect but its perfect enough.

Looks like the wire for the washer.

I have seen this many times, it is not critical at the moment. I'd fix it at some point but your car isn't going to fall apart if you don't. It is a good indication of how much these cars flex, a set of torque boxes and sub frame connectors will fix it not to mention make the car handle WAY better.

A bit of a wide open door there... First thing to do is decide what you want the final product to be/look like. Do you want it stock looking but with all modern driveline or do you want it to a full on restomod with some aero added, tall wheels with skinny tires, or maybe the "field fresh"...

Good call, thanks.

Thank you, I was very lucky over all and just got some road rash and a sprained ankle. My wife was with me and luckily she came off the bike on top of me and basically walked away with very minor issues (more shock than anything else). On top of all this the event occurred in front of a couple's...

I will check them out, thanks.

Good tip, thanks. I only have a pint of clear and I definitely want to get as much on top of the tape as possible (assuming the tape doesn't melt)

Thanks for all of the responses and information. I will check out the Paint Society and see what I can learn.

Recently I hit a deer doing 30 mph on my 03 Harley Ultra Classic. I am fine and have pretty much completely healed up but now I am trying to repair the bike. I am replacing the front fender and 1 lower fairing both of which I sourced from eBay. The lower fairing is very nice and will just...

Aaron - good progress, unfortunately I cannot help you with your non-firing situation but I would caution you to not to push too hard. I know you want to hear it run, but it would suck to damage it in the process.

Well I would probably just replace it unless there is some emotional tie to it. You can buy a pretty decent tach for under $150 these days brand new.

That assuming that the tach is wired correctly as it is now. Look at the back of the tach, there should be 1 wire leading away from it to the firewall going into the engine compartment to the coil. If that is connected along with perhaps a 12V wire (not exactly sure how it is to be connected)...

Its most likely going to be the circuit board internal to the tach, I'd look for a replacement.

As I guessed, it was something simple.... I had it wired correctly but the ignition switch (which is a GM unit) was not making contact in the run position, thus my "switched" devices were not getting power (like the HVAC). I investigated the map light situation and as it turns out when I was...
