Well fellas heres another update. I'm still waiting on the parts to come back from the platers..so I finally had a chance to start paint on the rest of the fork, the tank and chainguard..

no sand blasting this time, figured Id stop being lazy and did it by hand..lol..



and here it is with its new color...cant wait to see it all together with all its freshly dipped parts


Here is the Tank with its new coat of paint


This Morning I took my time on the masking...and added the white


and here we are... nearing the final stages on my converision.. These still need to be pinstriped and Ill be adding graphics to the frame also...stay tunned..lol.. thanks for looking

After I posted this I started working on the frame, and got the graphics done... Here are a few more pics

Finally paired the tank to the frame, I was afraid the color might be off, but the shop did and awesome job on the color match



and here is the frame


Hope you guys like it so far!

A great bike is becoming an EPIC bike!
This build reminds of the recent car trend of making new models that are reminiscent of past models only 'modernized'.

Keep up the artistry!

Cheers,

Ok guys Im updating this as I acomplish something new things... I had said on an earlier post I wasnt going to do the pin striping myself, well, I DID..lol.. and I think I did a pretty good job. I finished the paint this morning and I called to see if maybe my parts were ready, but it looks like they wont be till maybe Monday and I cant wait.. Ill be replacing the springer and installing the Phantom sprocket, till then this is the Trolley Dodger as it sits at the moment, thanks for the compliments this was my first time attempting a paint job with this much detail
