So the crank has now had the textured paint on and about three coats of matt black.It's now dry, so that's ready for rusting paint!





Sanded down the stem yesterday and put some textured paint on today.So that should be dry now too.I'll get some black on that asap.






The handle bars have been cut to the new length! 7 Inches off! Much nicer now More like a boardtracker.They have already had a sand,
so they are ready for painting up too.





and I cut a couple of little extension piece out of some fender struts for the bottom of the truss rods, which I just need to put a couple of extra holes in.

I've been painting up the the handle bars.



Two coats of textured paint.

Dry and ready for paint rusting.


The stem has had a couple of coats of matt black.

I'm using the same bars. Once they're cut, its a comfy riding position. Except mine will retain the pretty chrome.

Cool! Cut down bars are going to look super cool on your build.I love that colour you chose too! Keep up the great work

I came home from work yesterday to find that the head badge had arrived! It's is just awesome! Terry has done such a great job on it and it's exactly what I wanted.

Here it is!



I have plans to paint it up a little and do some light rusty paint effect on it

Yeah, I love custom badges. Terry is the best at them. If anyone wants one made, send him a PM. His user name on here is ( Jesusjonz ). This is the second one he has made for me and again, he has done a superb job.

They have all been matt lacquered and are ready for fitting!
