So I have most started cleaning up my 360.
Apart for front end work and buffing of fork legs.

All of my paint work is done, here is an example above. 
Fenders and headlight bucket are also done. 
Once I have front end rolling I will be moving on to doing a new wire harness. Slow but steady….. 
More paint pictures……

thats a great looking bike at least looks mostly restored. The RT3s are so hard to find.  Careful!  I claimed to be cleaning one up too.  Ended up stripped to the frame.
