ALL work performed by ME! Fabrication, paint, lettering, pinstripes, bar wrap...TOTALLY IN-HOUSE!!

All photos were taken at an old railroad warehouse in the historic Warehouse District of Greenville, NC. It is currently owned by the university. All photos via my iPhone 6...

Well done, very trick.
 
Custom leaf spring fork / rockers, wrapped bars, tank, pin striping, frame patina....well done all around Brett!:41:

....and some great 'parting shots' to boot!
 
The use of Model A parts on the fork was genius, this build has been fun watching come together.You did a great job with this one, I don't see a thing I would change.:thumbsup:
 
That's a jaw dropper for sure :13:.
