Re: Manta Race UPDATE, First coat of primer, ETC

Ok life has slowed a little so I had some time to spend in the garage. Installed the braze on for my cable stop and added a guide coat of primer. Most of this will be sanded away to smooth out a couple of rough spots. Built the wheels last week, sun rims with an American Classic rear hub and a Nuke Proof front. Remember the carbon it will be somewhere else on the bike. Also need to sand around the braze on to smooth the JB weld. Below is a couple of pics of some parts that will find there way on to the bike. Enjoy the pics more to come.

The bunnies are pleased.
Welcome back!
Nice details. I like the cooling fins on the brakes and the perct arch of the frame.

Thanks, That saddle has been on a couple of differnt bikes but not in a long time. I love it and could never let it go. Should be perfect for this bike. I decided tonight to make a crank change. These should fit the theme well.

So I added so color today. I couldn't think of a better color then "Nighthawk Black Pearl" for a hotrod.

 

[kingfish254]

Nice choice.

Pulled the masking off. Have a little touch up to do, and of course clear coat needs to be added.

One word says it all!
