I used one of those shifters on Firewing and loved it. I'm digging the color of the dice you are using. And I have always wanted to get one of those chains.
Tick Tock 14 days and counting.

I got a small box of parts back form the powder shop . All the black chrome is done . Now just waiting on the frame & body parts .
All I managed was to get the seat frame mounted .

Really like that black chrome color on the seat rails and springs.
 
I need to try that black chrome sometime.
Every time I see someone use it, it looks sick.
 
RaT oN my Floridian brother! Wheels and tires look good.
 
Another hot afternoon in the garage wow . I did manage the accomplish something besides sweating. Some custom 3G action polished aluminum & black chrome.

I brought my welder Eds press back to my house today to compress these big springs . I had to get creative but it worked good

To put the fork legs on I tried a trick I saw a while back . I used a bolt going the opposite way to spread the clamp . Put the washer in there to block the hole so it would spread . I did this for two reasons ,the powder is thicker then the chrome & need some extra space also didn't want to scratch it .

Great work, but that first chair pic just ain't right. :eek:
 
Cool idea on spreading the sleeves to get the legs in without scratches.
 
That looks awesome!!!
 
Thanks guys I just hope I get the rest of the bike back in time . Or I'll be riding a unicycle across the finish line . This is cutting it close . I think my powder coat buddy likes to see me stress out .
