Wow! Super awesome! I didn’t even notice. Thanks to you and everyone that makes the build off so fun!

Thanks man! Appreciate it.

Haha, right! I already want to revamp the Shelby I built here a few years ago with that and a few other things! Thanks for the kudos, man!

Appreciate it, man! This was a fun one!

Lol, thanks!

Chainguard time! Got it all drilled with speed holes and in matching bare metal. I also bought a universal mounting kit off eBay. I had to soak the galvanized parts in toilet bowl cleaner to get them in bare metal and then hit them with scotch brite. It took some trial and error and some...

Next on the list is the rear fender. I found one that I had already used half of on another bike. I also cut down steel spacers to get the fender sitting on the tire perfectly. Finally I finished everything off with some more stainless. I had to cut a section out for the chain to clear. The...
