Good,and bad news!Bad news is I'm single after returning from Texas.Good news,I'm single now I can spend more time in MY new shop!!!!So thids build will resume.
I made the new mounts today for the custom Sportster gas tank.I think that's all the fab work that was left,except maybe a bracket for the upswept exhaust.By the weekend it should be a painted roller.I just need to build up a little cash to pick up an engine,and throw it in.The frame,and sheetmetal(what there is of it{tank,and short rear fender})will be sandblasted,and painted by Thursday(I hope).

Yes he shed some weight and he is back. I cant wait to see this beauty. Aside from pictures of Yonuh's bike, this is the most anticipated build of the year.

I'm thinking about changing colors though.Originally Iwas going blue metalflake,but now I'm thinking baby blue with white scallops or maybe turquoise with white scallops.I want it to give it an older look,and go with the whitewalls better.
