Once it's rideable, you could rename it 'POULTRY IN MOTION'. :mrgreen:

Watch Me Now!
I'm a happy camper today...I got my new computer!!! It's been a miserable 3 1/2 weeks without it. I've been working on a good-for-nothing piece of junk in the interim. Now I can finally get back to taking and submitting pics as I work on my build...I am so stoked!!!!

Re: Watch Me Now!
That's some great patination that you have been using on your builds. What would the chances be of your doing a tutorial in "How To" after the builds are over ?
Great. I kept checking to see what you had done. Glad you are up and running at 100% again.fordsnake said:

No problem...today I painted Remix's frame with five colors and the end result has this unique bronze-copper tone. I'm using some new techniques this time around on how to age so it appears weathered and worn.

When I began this build, I didn't want to alter the bike's originality. So like always I pursued the footprint of Mofaux and Mofo; everything to be modular, to be removable and not permanent. Today I began mating the tank with the leather shroud. The shroud (one of two) is held onto the tank by a metal clasp ( a door handle) on the front and anchored to the frame by the flexible tubing.
Wicked!!!
That tank armor has been reminding me of the Kronen character from Hellboy
