Just ran across this and I got an overwhelming urge to check the status of your build.

I always wondered if fiberglass resin would eat those floral blocks, I guess you put plastic wrap over it before you started glassing.

I can't believe you made that from some foam. That takes some skills. Great work.

That is way cool. Nice work. I may have to use/steal this technique for my tank. Thanks for throwing up the pics. :mrgreen:

I love these Stallions, they're very distinct and ahead of their time for sure.

If you decide to ditch the fenders, I will make a very fair offer for them! I have a Stallion missing fenders to make a complete, correct bike and would love a pair; so seeing these bobbed would sting :shock: But 'tis your bicycle!
It'll rub out.

That is pretty impressive bodywork you made.
I tried being serious, but it was boring.
