Ah, exhaust tips. The thought had crossed my mind but there were already exhaust tips on the shorter system. Looks great!
 
Getting down to the nitty gritty now. Got the chain on and the back wheel aligned. "Exhaust" system connected, just need to finalize the exhaust tips.

Digging the exhaust tips and the glasspacks. Most excellent doodaddery going on here.

WOW. I'm terrible about keeping up with everybody else's builds, so I'm just catching up with this one now. This is amazing! I get a 1970ish MoPar vibe off of it...
Thanks! Although the name was supposed to reference the AMC Rebel Machine, all the cars influencing me were mostly Mopars.
 
My first car was a mopar, a 1973 Dodge coronet. I currently have only mopar vehicles now. a dodge Ram and Dodge challenger sit in the driveway and a early dodge dart in the garage.

AMC Rebels and AMX's are considered mopars now too...

I'm calling the Mean Machine done. Now the hard part, finding cool photo spots for my finished thread.
Here's a few detail pictures.

Diggin' it!

Love this stance and angle of the shot. See if you can find a more solid colored background wall in brick red, black, or brown beige to set off both your bare metal and lime green.

What about the outside wall of your 'rickety old garage out back'...?

Good pic. Good angles. Just needs more background contrast IMO

I’d be interested to see what this bike looked like in front of a red brick wall
