Love those long sweeping frame darts

Me too. I think I will replicate them.

Some tank work. Some parts stripped. Some sanding, cleaning and priming next. Decided on a black frame with two color additions to the fender, skirts and chain guard.

Tank really shaped up nicely!

Tank really shaped up nicely!

Thank you. I have a bunch of work still but getting there. The punched metal will be a likely addition to match the chain guard.

Made a little progress on the tank over the past few days. Modeled in some more Bondo in the fins and began detailing the space provided for the perforated metal. My wood carving tools have become useful to remove Bondo from areas that I have applied too much. I hope to get all the finish work accomplished and the tank in to primer soon. I still need to add two more mounting points to the underneath side. Many parts will get primed and painted over the next few days. I have to hammer out some dents in my duck billed fender before it gets some Bondo work, primer and paint. It is in rough shape.

That tank is looking awesome.

Thank you! The paint is Montana Black graffiti paint. There are many eye popping colors along with some subdued colors and hues. The dark green is called copper green and the lighter one is called hope. They lay down well and should clear coat well if suited.

That tank is looking awesome.

Thank you! Getting along well but lots of work still. I hoping to make it compliment the chain guard and skirts.
