    one feature I like about this build, is the ability to change the look and riding position by easily flipping the bars. I feel the way I have it, it’s more of a “race” position. Flip the bars for a cruiser vibe.

    Here is the Thunderbolt all tidied up and ready for photos. Here are a couple of photos, before it’s even been ridden. So a shake down ride and photo session all in one. I will be out all day. If none of my photos turn out decent, at least I have these. I’m packed with some touch up paint...

    Hey @Wildcat i never really found an actual serial number on this bike. I found an 8 on one of the stays and an H on the bb. Since as you stated, a person would need permission to have a bike made during this time, would it have a full serial number? Thanks for all the info you have already...

    I didn’t think about the seat tying in as well. I’m glad I cleaned the seat up. You could tell how drab it was when on a freshly painted bike. Thanks!😎 Thank you! My wife had the same sentiment as yours. I was really unsure how everything would play together. I appreciate the kind words. 😎

    Killer build. I love the crusty rusty goodness! I think your last photo should be your main photo.

    One thing I find appealing is when lines, contours and shapes repeat themselves, but in different forms. An example of that is found in the Sachs Torpedo hub and the spring retainer on the stem. I tried to bring that element in with my tank build. I achieved the representation of the skirts, but...

    I realized that the seat need some attention, as it was clean but stained dirty. My wife rounded up her favorite cleaning supplies and I made good use of them. Most of the stains came out and the seat now is whiter and matching the other white features.

    I’m calling this one done. My wife convinced me that I have done enough on the tank and doesn’t really need the extra touch. I passed on the decal idea since it was a bit “corny”. I will revisit the punched metal idea down the road. I got the 3 speed housing re-attached the the cable. I used...

    I love it 😻. The seat mounts are rad and a great alternative to a sissy bar. The apes are nice. Are they exerciser bars? 😎
