[KZ1000]

Nice job, I really feel guilty now, I tell you about this cool site, and now you have flown ahead of me on your builds, I guess I should stop buying and start building.

 

[BankerRAt]

ya now Im addicted KZ. Ill make a deal. Give me a few hours of your paint room so I can paint my Stingray and this new build and ill come down with my pen, card catalogs, and tools and Ill start breaking down the million bikes and help organize???

 

[KZ1000]

Sure, trouble is, the organizing has to start first so we can reach the switch for the exhaust fan. I did make more progress today, so it is getting there

I'm liking the direction of this bike....but even more than that...I'm liking all the cool stuff in the background on the last photo! :shock:

 

[BankerRAt]

Thats where I started Mr. RatRod. Just got into the bike build thing a few months ago thanks to KZ1000. I like this better as it allows a lot more creativity! Thank you

[jesusfreak86]

[maddogrider]

Hey BankerRat those head tube cups are on the way. 8)

 

[BankerRAt]

Wow those tires are sweet!!!!!

 

[karfer67]

[BankerRAt]

Bump ... Got a little more done to the frame. Should I paint or clear coat the bare steel?

 

[user 135]

How about some kind of tinted clearcoat?

 

[BankerRAt]

ive never heard of that! do tell....

 

[user 135]

Me neither I just thought of it. If you google it, there is some info but not alot. Some of the auto body guys might know. Sensor should know.

I just thought it would be cool to have the bare metal look but with some color.

 

[BankerRAt]

I totally agree about the bare metal with some tint. Im gonna look that up
