Still Available? If so, I'm interested.

Thanks OJ! I appreciate your input.

Well Guys, She's going to be a whole lot nicer in the future but she's running! With all the COVID parts delivery issues, work and family commitments I'm happy to have her finished at a minimum level even. ;^) Future additions will be completion of the dual '58 Chevy headlight, tank and rear...

Thanks OddJob! I appreciate the positive feedback. She feels really smooth and I love the low seating position. Handlebars are in perfect position for comfort as are cranks and pedals.

Thanks! I'm really pleased as she's my first ever custom build. I wish I'd had more time to finish all the fun custom components like the console shifter, dual headlight, fenders and teardrop saddle bags but she's gonna be fun as is for a while...

I second Psychographic's comments. I wish I had 1/2 your fabrication skills!

Time will dictate what will be by the September 1st deadline. Long term it will have a white pearl base with pinstriping and graphics similar to the Beatnik Bandit color scheme.

Hey Guys, Been going through the 'growing pains' of learning the frustration of a lack of standards in this fun endeavor. Through all of this I am enjoying the learning experience and growth in relationships with new people that have been extremely helpful along the way. Today's post covers a...

Welcome and have fun restoring that great bike... I'll get you Red Baron! hahaha
