Yeah I'll agree, you know your way with sand bags and a hammer? Did you also happen to use a French Wheel?

Yes to the e-wheel.  Another beer budget project  Wink  You can see in the second pic I moved the adjustment to the top wheel to allow a cantilever mount of the bottom wheel for better access when making fenders and tanks and smaller curvy things.

I have gotten great support with my technical questions posted in 'rubber side down.'  And I know I'll have lots more questions.  I've also benefited from the marketplace section.  Posting the progress is small way to give back to the site and I enjoy the discussion, input  and feedback.  And  thanks to smokin_blue for introducing me to the site.

You don't mess around, do you?  I'm always impressed with how fast you progress with each phase of this build.   Keep up the strong work.

Brush on dye and just kiss the high spots with a flat file then try to push the highs down and bring the lows up, repeat.

Trying some clecos to hold things together.  I plan to tack, weld and smooth before putting on the back and tail end.
