Re: PAY IT BACK

i am going to take new pics today of the frame it is mostly free of paint now and i started polishing the frame. i also am getting ready to make the tank insert but i have to start with a mock up before transfering it into the copper i am going to use. should be interesting never really worked with it. brass yes copper no and yea i know it is softer should be fun. i am really excited about this bike it has a look that i have never done and in my mind it is right. thanks for all the positive feedback more to come stay tuned :D

Re: PAY IT BACK

The stance on the bike REALLY looks good!........Please, please, be careful you don't "poke" an eye out while making that springer!...............Actually, you'd look pretty cool with an eye patch (jk). :wink: ...Nah, It wouldn't be worth it!
 
Re: PAY IT BACK
