How to do paint and bodywork on a antique motorcycle. Body tech shows you all the secrets !

- I have been doing autobody work for over 20 years and in that time I have learned a lot of tips and tricks of the trade. This gas tank was in very bad shape from old wreck damage and was almost too bad to fix. The bike is a 1971 honda cl350 scrambler that we got running in an older video and did some upgrades on. I am really happy with how the paint color turned out and I am excited about getting to ride it with the kids once the weather warms up.I hope this video helps someone who is wondering how they could do this on their own motorcycle or car.

I just saw this was a 2 year old video but still very relevant for all the old Honda bikes on the road. You are also an amazing mechanic, mentor and most importantly Father. Glad I ran across your videos. Thank you for all you’ve taught me from your extensive knowledge base.
I appreciate that!
Hey boss what a worker he goes home tired
Yes I do thank you
I’m glad my old CL 350 Scrambler is in nice shape appearance wise and while it is a 72 it has a 74 tank and side panels and the original 74 blue that’s very close to yours and black paint still shines, chrome is great and seat is still sweet. Now I just have to get it running again. Hasn’t been ran since the mid 80’s.
Nice , it shouldn’t be too hard
I really enjoy watching when you do paint and body work. I've always been interested in it but do not have the patience to do it myself. 🤪🤣
Thanks 👍
Hey man if you need more lift on that front end you can loosen up those bolts at the top of the forks then lift the motorbike up a little and let the forks hang down a little then tighten the top fork bolts, good luck. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
Ok thank you
Soften those side cover grommets with WD-40 ,the cover will pop on and off . Helps keep the covers from cracking when pulled on unevenly . . . That old rubber gets really hard ,and the plastic tabs get brittle.
Paint is Great ! Keep on doing what your doing,it's lots of fun and informative. Thanks All.
Ok thank you
I think baby oil would be a better softener of the rubber, less chance of it evaporating
Even better use silicone, but let it dry properly before re-mounted. Silicone makes it impossible to repaint.
I watched the part where Ralphie pops that RC Cola at the end on half speed like 5 times, so funny. Tosh keeps shakin them sodas…. He really took it like a trooper tho, just lifted the bottle and took a drink!
That’s funny
I love this bike!!! But I love pretty much every bike 😅..my wife and I are new to your channel and we're trying to catch up and seeing this video shows how selfless you are when you sold it to keep your family vacation going the way you planned and have a safe return..that was a true sacrifice from one bike guy to another!! We love your family and what you guys stand for! Hope to meet you someday. GOD BLESS YOU
the bike looks totaly amazing she is a beauty your detail to your work is beyond me keep them comming
Thank you
Not a bike person normally but love the Honda. Great it’s back on the road.
Thank you
The puppies are adorable! The blue pops and rocky is up to his eating everything routine lol
Thank you, yes they are into everything
What a nostalgia trip...fantastic
Thank you
I BELIEVE THAT WAS HE BEST REBUILD MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN, I BOUGHT THE SAME MOTORCYCE WHEN I WAS IN THE ARMY AND DROVE IT EVERYWHERE. TOOK IT BACK HERE TO THE STATES AND DROVE IT WHILE STATIONED AT FORT HOOD TEXAS AS THE COMMANDING GENERALS' DRIVER THEN SHIPPED IT BACK TO GERMANY AND DROVE EVERY BACK ROAD FOR 400 MILES FROM BREMERHAVEN TO BAD KREUZNACH WHERE I DROVE FOR THE COMMANDING GENERAL THERE TOO. THEN SHIPPED IT BACK TO THE STATES TO FORT HOOD AGAIN SAME JOB. I PARKED IT AT THE HQ BUILDING AND IT WENT MISSING ONE DAY. FOUND IT LATER AT A CAR LOT FOR SALE NUMBERS CHANGED AND GOT IT BACK SINCE MY NAME AND LAST 4 WERE INSCRIBED IN A HIDDEN PLACE. DROVE IT TILL 1984 WHEN A FUEL TANKER RAN OVER IT AT A GAS STATION WHILE BACKING UP. I STILL GOT 3500 FOR IT THEN I ARGUED WITH EVERYONE ABOUT IT. IN 79 I BOUGHT A HONDA 6CYL 1050CC CBX AND I STILL HAVE IT. THE KILLER POCKET ROCKET. OLD FART NOW BUT I STILL RIDE IT AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK.
Wow what a cool story, thank you for watching
Really cool job; "kids" of all kinds should be proud ❗
Thank you
I finally figured out that vie-een-yas are just Vienna Sausages and why every one loved em so much. The paint turned out great!
That’s funny thank you
Love the blue, always love old motorcycles.
Yes I am a blue kinda guy
From your very first videos I could see success coming for you and the family your joy is evident and more contagious than a hankering for Viennas
Thank you I appreciate it
Well I bought a brand new 1970 CL-350, it was Orange and Black, I didn’t feel old until you called it antique !!! Love your channel and family, keep your kids interested in what you’re doing. I raised my kids at the airport and church and they turned out pretty good, not perfect but good. My grandkids are perfect 😂😂😂. Keep it up !!!
That’s cool, I am trying to do my best with them
nice job on that old 350... the on/off switch is so Honda classic
Yes!
That was fun to watch - great color for the Honda too. I don't think it needs anything else - except just to be rode.
Thank you
I enjoyed watching y'all and it was awesome seeing y'all having fun. I got a good laugh when Ralph took a soda bath. Thank y'all God Bless
That’s funny I’m glad you liked it
By the way, the cuts to the puppies is adorable
Thank you
Awesome color choice that looks like it could have come that way fron the factory! Nice job ! That deserves a 10 on the Vienna sausage meter!
Thank you , what a high honor
Those pups are so cute.
Thank you
I love seeing some bodywork getting done. The other projects always seem incomplete.
Yeah I know we will be doing bodywork on the Falcon soon as well
That bike looks better than new, really now I'm really interested falcon.
Thank you, we will get to the falcon
You can put a couple of washers or a spacer at the top of the spring to lift the hight a bit 🤔 ive done that before with old bike fork springs 😁👍.
Ok good idea thanks
I'm liking that color!
I love it
That is a beautiful color. Just imagine how good a tri 5 Bel-Air would look in that color!
Exactly
That shade of blue fits 70’s vibe of the Bike. Love the blue I’ve seen a new Jeep Renegade that exact same color beautiful. So fun to see your kids playing in the snow ❄️. And the puppies are so cute ❤️ dude. Again you and the painter did a awesome job on the bike parts. You’re right Pebbles is gonna be like her dad Rocky hopping on everything. Back on the bike I agree on changing the rear sprocket ⚙️ for better highway speeds. Ralphie bless his heart he got soaked with the RC Cola and cold as it was outside I could imagine how much colder it really felt lol 😂 he’s a real trooper tho. I’m go try those bourbon bbq Vienna’s when I see’em Sorry for long post. May Y’all have a Blessed one sir.
Thank you I appreciate it
Anyone who mixes bondo on a tablet of paper my kinda guy Great job
Thanks man
If I'm not mistaken, you may need to add lead to the gasoline you're putting in this motorcycle. The valve guides were different back in pre unleaded gasoline days. It'll run fine, but eventually you may need to do a valve job and install guides that are unleaded gas friendly.
I think your paint looks great. The color is perfect.
Ok thank you
It's funny that I've been watching your channel for a while now and I didn't know your first name until I watched the Hamilton Farm video 😂😂😂
That’s funny
Great job ! She's looking good , love seeing her come together and back on the road again. I love old school metric bikes because it remind me of seeing my brothers riding with their friends . And Pebbles a sweetheart and hello to all the other animal friends too ! Beautiful pups !!
That’s cool me too, thanks for watching
This has been one of my favorite series of yours! I love old motorcycles and owned one similar to this many years ago. I did wonder where everybody else was just before you explained! Your bodywork skills are amazing and, as always, I'm always learning from you! Great job! Thanks for all you do!
Thank you I’m glad you liked it
@@Sleeperdudes1❤
Bike looks great. I'll do drive train, suspension and electrical all day, but I was never ambitious enough to learn body and paint. Thanks for posting.
There’s a lot to doing it
Ha ha that was so funny lil ralphie sprayed with cola..😆 great job on the bike really was a cool video. God bless y all.
Thank you
Man what a great bike a really caf'e racer you did a bike proud
Thank you
That thing came out real nice. Good job.
Thank you
Looking Really GOOD.. Noticed a tear on the right back of the seat..a simple Iron On Patch and all's good.
Thanks, I do need to do that
Ralphie with the RC was good too !!!!
I’m glad you liked it
Came out pretty sweet. You got good taste. Hope she's a keeper
Thank you I like it

All facts
Sleeper to raise the front end a bit just put a round slug about 3/4" long between the top of the spring and the top fork bolt - make a longer one if you want more height
Ok thank you
Blue...my favorite color! Bike looks awesome..also love your furry family..cute pups, and Pebbles and Rocky are so cool lol
Thanks I paint everything blue
Friggin beautiful brother! Great work. You make it look easy, and TN looks like some fun country to ride, I'm jealous! Indiana is so dang flat.
Thank you
Looks great. The ending RC explosion was hilarious!
Thanks I’m glad you liked it
Great color choice! That bike came together beautifully!
I'm dying to see those puppies jumping around and playing in a few months. 🥰
Thank you, they are going to be a mess soon
I love this video!! This is like a feature-length film of family and motorcycles! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thank you for watching
I REALLYYYY LOVEEEE YOUR EDITING. THE SUPERIOR EDITING MAKES THIS SHOW. TONS OF SENCES
Thank you I appreciate it I have absolutely no formal training
That old Honda looks so much better than a modern bike with the chrome and that Blue. Nice one dude.
Thank you I agree
That is a great job! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the color of the motorcycle that same motorcycle I learned how to ride on I miss it so much, love y'all content and how family oriented y'all are you don't see that no more y'all keep up the great content God bless y'all
Yeah it turned out nice. Thank you
lolz that last part of the video was funny ralph sprayed himself with pop maby next tim he won't stand in the way lolz awsome video
Thank you
He almost hollered “tires” when he was having trouble getting those plastic side covers on. 🤣🤣
The Fonz is one of the reasons I love motorcycles and you two pulled it off.
That’s great
excellent job on the paint and bodywork by the way, and the colour looks great.
Thank you
@@Sleeperdude welcome.
I had to buy a tank for my ‘68 as the friend I bought it from used it on a chopper he was building. I found a 1972 tank and it did not have the seam running down the middle like the early ones and it had a rounder shape and looked really nice on the bike.
Love when you can stand back and look at your project come to life and be finished. Great looking bike and rockin color!
Thank you
I might be mistaken but you want the closed end of the master link going in the direction of the chain so it doesn't blow itself off.
Ok thank you
I just rebuilt a 74 cb750 and they are a pain in the ass I like the color you chose I wish the customer wanted a custom paint job but I had to go with all original everything
Yeah they look harder to work on
I like the color. I painted my old Honda a Jeep color too. It's a metallic copper.
Thank you
Ready to see one of the cars you got to come alive!
Thanks
Did I tell you,. my 1st bike in 76' was a Scrambler? It was sweet!
That’s cool
"It's time for your shot." 😂 Great work. 💯
I’m glad you liked it thanks
Was watching another channel and the Scrambler videos showed up. I’m pretty sure I watched them, but since YT didn’t think so, I’m guessing I watched them all at work 😂 I know I did because I was filed with déjà vu watching and on last summer’s road trip I remember that the saddest part for me was you selling it off.
My buddy was a autopainter. Learned everything I know from him. It's much nicer spraying in the booth though. Just remind your boss your a CZcams ⭐.😂
That’s funny .. thank you
I like the comic timing "That's really hurtful". You two are a good team!
Thank you I’m glad you like it
When I was a kid those were a dime a dozen. I have owned about 20 of them. I bought four in various states of broken as a lot while I was a paramedic. I had to use an old ambulance to go get them. The guy said, "Wow, I guess you are going to try and save them." I got three decent ones, sold them all. That EXACT bike (type) was ridden by Kurt Russell in the film The Barefoot Executive (1971) I watched it the other day, a time capsule crack up!
Wow that’s cool I will have to check that out
That little rod that goes between the end of the handlebars is to help with the handles from vibrating or chattering. Same reasons you see metal bars going from the firewall to a fender. I was a mechanic for over 35 years, been working on cars since I was Raphie's age!
Anything about transportation I read, collect, learn. Been to college for automotive. With that being said I think you probably know way more than me! I learn so much from you!
That’s awesome thank you
That's a very nice paint job!
Thank you
I seem to remember Ralphie wanting red. I agree. Blue is a good colour for old geezer cars. (Both of my cars are blue. Go figure). Incredible bodyworking. Most impressed. Red bikes are faster, though... Many thanks. Very enjoyable and instructive.
Thank you I appreciate it
I would love to see it go back to Orange cuz that's one of my favorite color. I had an Old Mercury Capri painted bright caramel or Orange.
Sleeperdude you are making lifetime memories with your family that's awesome!!
Thank you so much
@@Sleeperdude yes sir thanks for sharing your skills 👍
I really like this kind of step by step what you had to go through to get that looking so good. Keep up the great work! You've got a really good channel going here!
Thank you so much!
You can increase tension on the springs using a steel tube spacer under the caps.
Ok thank you
I've put many emblems and badges on cars and bikes with double sided tape,sometimes i would take a Dremel tool and rough up the underside of an emblem and wipe it with fiberglass filler so it would be flat,then I would use the tape.
Man that is a nice color on the bike. Man it was awesome watching you doing the body work on the bike. You did an excellent job. I hope you didn't hurt your fingernail really bad. I did the same thing working on my truck 🚛 one time & I had to have a splint put on my finger because I hurt the fingernail pretty bad. You had me laughing in the video at 9:31 when you said this thing looks worser than my toenail. Man I love your saying. & you know the best part was that the end. Poor Ralphie just the way he looked when the RC COLA shot all over him in the cold. His face expression was priceless. Use a good dad for cleaning him up. The puppies by the way are so cute. Good video brother. Thank you for good laugh I need that right now since I can't work right now. I guess I won't be wearing my flip flops for a while. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you , no I didn’t hurt it too bad , hope you get better soon
@@Sleeperdude that's good you didn't hurt it too bad. Thank you buddy I appreciate that. I will be a couple weeks on crutches & then I go back and they will put a walking cast on my foot so I can walk.
Great paint job. And awe you have puppies too.
Thank you . Yes she had 5 puppies
Love that ol 350😉👍
FYI.. speaking of all that wiring behind the headlight... That was the way to hotwire those back in the day was to hook two wires together behind the headlight not sure which ones it's been a while 🐐
Oh wow that makes sense I guess
That color blue reminds me of my Dads SL 350 when I was a kid
I’ve been thinking of him and that bike this entire build
That’s cool
So good to see you doing bodywork, not because I like bodywork but because I love watching experts work 👌👍
Thanks, I have been doing bodywork for over 20 years now
Bike looks great, Ellie's puppies are turning into gorgeous little rolly pollies, and I know you would be demonitise, but dang (born to be wild) should have been the back ground music when you 2 pulled in!😄😁😆👍
Thank you that would be cool
Started the video surprised your voice sounds way different had to click to make sure it was "S D"🙌👏👍 Only convinced when You mentioned Ralphie had helped you out cleaning the tank on the other video ! Came out just Great !
That’s funny
That lil bike turned out pretty sweet, nice color it actually look like it could be a factory color
Thank you I like it
One quick note. If you haven't bought any JIS screw driver bits. It will keep you from stripping all the "Phillips" screws. I've had good results with Vessel Impacta
Ok thanks
I absolutely love the metallics, I’m surprised Ralphie doesn’t like the “glitter”😂 great video once again.
Thank you I do too
Great bike . I had Suzuki that colour . That’s a lucky colour.
Thank you that’s cool
Super coupe? Man I had a 87 thunderbird turbo coupe I fell absolutely in love with and drove it till the wheels fell off lol it had almost 400,000 miles on it when I finally had to retire it due to some serious rust issues in the unibody like fred Flintstone style lol.. I've been looking for another in some kind of decent shape ever since.. but I'm picky and I want the style before they put the intercooler turbo systems in them but the ones I've found worth having or saving the owners aren't ready to part with yet can't say I blame them.. love your videos and the wholesome family content it's nice seeing that youve got the whole family involved.. keep up the great work! Crack a rc cola y'all deserve it!
Nice job..... keep up the good work
Thanks
I had a Honda MB5. With a 70cc 11 Port and a 22 millimeter carburetor. 125 km/h. And a Honda mt5 with a 70cc 6 Port. 95 km/h. Now I have a Honda mb 8, with a water cooled 125cc with a 26mm carburettor.
Nice
You did a beautiful job on it. I hope you can get another one you like in the future
Great primer on how to do body work, pun intended 😁👍
That’s funny thanks
Great job on the Honda 350. your puppy's are growing like a weed. Ralphie first ride on the Honda. he did good ridding on it. Congrats Ralphie..
Thank you
Great job and great color.
Thank you

Good video Sleeper dude,

What a great video!! Found my self looking away when you were removing the fork springs...LOL
I was a little scared
