those headlights are sweet they really finish off the bike. lexus paint hmmm? is it rattle can or shot with a gun? i like the color a lot

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Rattle can...bought at O'rileys auto parts. went on pretty good ...but I do miss my 90 degree weather. I lay that stuff on till its wet and never get a run. 70 degree and you have to be careful.

well it is still cold here and i have a frame i have to paint. i told the guy i would have to wait till it gets a bit warmer

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Man this would be fun to have a shop somewhere and let someone come in ...pick a frame then pick a color and whatever forks and wheels they wanted to use ..all the rest of the parts and build them a bike just like they wanted .....dreaming :roll:

Nice job. All the details work perfectly. That paint looks great outside in the sun.

I see my favorite The Shamrock got bumped to the top again. Mine will never be that bike. It was the inspiration for my build. Even though they really look nothing alike . Its a beautiful bike and I think I got mine to look good too but that one is killer. When you see one that really stands out it makes you wonder if he just got lucky or if he has the vision to do it with all his builds. I wish he was still on and building bikes to see what his next one would have looked like. I'm envious of his talent. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
