Finished the floating HotWheels sammich. Positioned and stuck the right side on with its adhesive tape. Then filled in the spaces around the floating arms with 3m mounting tape to compensate for their thickness. Then mounted the left side with its adhesive tape and squeezed the sammich together.

Well I am done working for the day and I think I am done with the build. We'll see after the ride. Got about 1.5 hours of daylight left. Still just testing the mirror, but it may stay.

That location right there!! Love the greys and matte reds and brick with Fooligan. Got any more angles / different views?

Seriously perfect spot for final foto! :nod: :inlove:

This whole wall has always been one of my favorite spots. It has such a big variety of grunge going on. As a matter of fact, the first rat rod style bike I ever did was a Madwagon that I flipped back in 2010 and I took some of the sale pics for it there. I was only a RRB lurker at that point.

The drainpipe here is the same one in the photo above.
