^^ primer red frame, leaving front fork with it's patina, natural sheet metal tank plates (louvered i hope), chrome rims with cream colored tires. at least that's the plan.

I've always liked the louvered look myself, seeing your post prompted me to do a quick google search on how to, hers a good one I came up with (looks like you are gonna have to get your buddy to do some more welding for you though)

hey guys, I gotta put in a plug and big thanks to Fergie of Fergie's Hot Rod Louvers (hotrodlouvers.com)... he is a great dude, and knows what looks good. If you ever need louvers, look him up and tell him I sent you. And again, thanks for all the compliments guys.

cheers
