Shifter, guard complete, mirror almost complete, starting final detailing..

Old first post with old frame.
Ok, I picked this bike up a week ago. Not an old classic, but a clean fatter tubed aluminum cantilever frame, is netter than nothing to start with.
So as this is a class 1 build, I am not sure if the skyhawke engine that came with the bike should be on it, but If I can get it to run, I will clean it up and paint it in as an integrated component.
Ape hangers and a banana seat are also in the budget.
I will have to decide what todo with the forks. I got time, will find something appropriate.
On the rear, a wide slick is planned.
In order to compete, What I don't have in pedigree on the frame, I will have to make for it in paint. While I wait for the coil to arrive for the engine, to give it a wirl befor paint, I'm painting up three cards to decide which glowing fire scheme will fit best. Will have a flat nickel base with pearled candy on top.
