Iam feelin the love man..... its just beautiful.... Iam just kiddin ya.. I don't know how you do it Curt....it took me all week to bend and cut my seat base..

Me too add to the praise, really enjoy reading your work Gary..

max i do it while im supposed to be working that way i get paid to have fun it makes it twice as much fun . the softail and girder are for the owner of the company i work for so he actually knows im working on bike stuff while im supposed to be working on other crap . only problem is i get behind in workstuff and have to catch up gotta figure thatone out lol

got the swingarm finished today and in a rolling chassis gotta figure out shocks for frontend and swingarm he wants to drop the frame to the ground when its parked never done that before so itll probly be a lil figureing there i had to make the swingarm almost 3 inches longer so it would go all the way down and still be able to use the frame the way it is i didnt want to change the frame that wayif i cant figure out the shocks i could still set it the way its supposed to be on a regular swingarm frame its 10 foot 6 inches long from front of the front tire to rear of the rear tirei had to prop up the ramp for the lift and add a piece of plywood and a saw horse to get it to fit im going to have to make an extension for the lift the hardtail and springer is only a foot shorter

Curt, looking awesome man you are makeing great progress.

thanks jonser

not a lot of progress lately been busy on the triumph and work but picked up a tank on e bay and made a copy for the hard tail build dam smartphone battery died couldnt get pics of them i will tomorrow

this is the tank i bought on e bay i made a coppy of it not welded together yet waiting for the filler and petcock bungs to show up

Im likn the tank.Choose a color yet?

no im horrible at deciding what color i do know itll be candy color i love the effect and depth i been trying to find the perfect metallic base for years nothing seems to come close to what i have in my head

If you go for candy blue , buff the metal up to a high shine and apply the tinted clear over that ! Very hard to beat !!

i did a powdercoat candy over chrome once looked way cool

good looking tank, perfect for a chopper...

ya i always liked those tanks im definatly a fan of the old stuff

curt, just wanted to throw in a post to let ya know that i'm digging' what you're up to. your boss is gonna be a lucky guy, the bike is coming together nicely.
