HiaWhatThe? might have to call her done,not sure yetRe: HiaWhatThe? update-(tank work started)Thanks folks! Beetween sleeping on it and all the input I think I have a plan.Time will tell how well it comes out.
Re: HiaWhatThe? update-(tank work started)
+1 If you were ever interested in how a Hoggy g looks, I could bolt mine on and snap a pic Agree with you to stick to the WWs with your other stylish bits You nailed the red on the chain guard and seat! I'd love to see it on the tank similar to the guard (just my $.02)
Re: HiaWhatThe? update-(tank work started)
Cool,I thought you had a BOA-G,seeing yours sent me to 3G,s website wich I had never heard of before .The red was on the guard when I got it but it worked so Im gonna strip it and reshoot it. Id like to see the HOggy pic for sure.But I plan on sticking with my whitewalls for the time being.
Re: HiaWhatThe? update-(tank work started)
You're right, I have a Boa-g on it but I also have a Hoggy-g for my yet-to-be-completed 24" Eliminator viewtopic.php?f=21&t=51106&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=eliminator&start=30 Glad I could get the gears in your head turning I'll get you a picture soon and your WW and guard decisions makes sense

Re: HiaWhatThe? update-(tank & guard paint )I am in awe of so many builder's paint skills here. Maybe that's why I have a chrome bike in the build off.
That looks sick. I love the raw and beat, but polished look of the clear coated sections. Nice touch. BO8 FireWing-Flexy-Fugsley-Beer Run * SALE ITEMS, FRESH FINDS + KINGFISH254 Stuff

Re: HiaWhatThe? update-(tank & guard paint )Here is a few of the tank and guard zip tied on just to get the feel of it.I forgot how bright this red was.I may end up stripping them and mixing some darker red and using the gun this time.I really dont know.

Re: HiaWhatThe? update-(tank & guard paint )Hi! I hate to say it but I think you are right - a little darker red might make it all work better, but that is a lot of work. Are you going to leave the biscuit light white? I'll be back! Robert
Re: HiaWhatThe? update-(tank & guard paint )
Yeah Im on the fence about the red--cool side is its Hot Rod bright red.Yeah got plans for the delta down the road. Luckily I could restrip the paint pretty easy since its fresh.Just not sure.
