Thanks..! your not lying it’s great wood to work with. The tank was a joy to make and it is hollow on the inside.

Crazy humidity today in Wisconsin but I took advantage of a free 2 hours and got a lot done on the other side of the tank. Also I got the saddle bolted in and my personal favorite of the day, I tucked a really sweet early 1900s brass reflector under the saddle !!! Thanks for looking !!

I hear ya, nobody wants anybody to get hurt. The spark plugs are more for show and if it becomes a Sunday rider, I can simply take them off along with the wires.!!

That’s to funny !!!

LMAO…!

Oh man that’s awesome! Basically my favorite movie of all time. When I was a kid I stopped with my Dad at a local gas station that also rented VHS tapes and I saw it sitting there “ Rad Racing”. We rented it and right after the movie I said Dad I need a all chrome BMX bike !!!!! After a few...

Thanks Dr T that means a ton to me, I really appreciate it !

Hey thanks ! Yeah its getting there but a little deceiving because I still need to finish the other side of the tank.!

Thanks BFTD, I appreciate you looking..! It’s been a really fun build so far !

Thanks OddJob, yeah I have some clay grips for it. I’ve been trying to find some clayish colored leather for the saddle. Definitely going to try and lay it back. I have a standard seat post and a lucky 7. I plan on cutting the standard post and slipping the lucky 7 inside and welding it in place.
