Sounds like the Caddy proved to be stronger than the shed. Heartbreaking when something happens that quickly as well, it does tend to increase the impact on us. From the early picture of your assistant you are already bringing along the next generation. Best wishes for you and the family at...

Like the 2 shots, shows the subtle tidy up and great taste in changes made.

Looking good and the finishing details are really good. The final look at it as a whole then tweaking it with such well done little improvements shows you have got confidence in what you see the bike as. Shiny side up just sounds like a suitable debut for this bike too, lots of shiny.:113:

Once this years competition is finished I can see a market for "instruction set and materials disguise kit to make your high value bike less likely to be stolen". So many great examples of real rust, patina and artificial matching it as well. The average bike thief looking for shiny targets...

Can you post some closer photos? Especially where the green leather and the red are close to each other. It sounds like you have acheived something very different and special.

:20: Keep hanging in there. It would be great if it all comes together by the 3rd. This just reminds us how much we can appreciate it if we have a LBS close when time limitations are involved. However there are a lot of people out here who will still be looking on and admiring your result...

:( Here is a virtual signature for Tommy's cast. Hoping that it all heals xcellently so he can play again.

You can doo it! At least you can once the health improves! This is interesting in a few ways as I grabbed the wheels of a dirt bike a while back as a way of getting the fatter rims for the wheelchair. Did not work there but as you are showing there may be another use for them. Good to see how...

Looking forward to hat sun showing up.

'Moved hay bales' I hope that horse appreciates the pain you put up with for it!:41:

:bigboss: Duggan approves, brings back memories of his old friend.

:39: Maybe bats dropped in for some lunch - no drive thru for him, personal sammich delivered by the builder.

Looking good Luke. Now with all the adaptor making remains you will have plenty of doo-dad parts for other build dressing up. Like that you have been using that lathe too.

Is he ever going to be surprised you found that invisible paint to update it for him.:grin:

Wow, rusting quick without extra encouragements too. Should have that reverse mask done in plenty of time. Great use of time and keeping costs down as well.

It seems that injenuity wins, liking the wifes donation and the trick with bagging to dispense neat amounts. Then the experimental paint techniques as well just add an extra degree of wow.:13::13:

The wing solution has certainly come up as one of a kind and well deserved for keeping looking etc.

May be a bit like driving the enterprise -'right turn out front, steady as she goes in the rear'

Man all the custom touches are really coming together great. Good to see your son could be camera man too. Leave him that Valiant and he will be a rich man. Like the practical upgrades to make it more useable and a classic.
