Love the "HOT" Wheels!!!!

Kingfish, good eye, as always. The "Hot" is a warning about this build,lol.
The disc came off outdoor patio heaters, hence the "Hot" word stamped on them.

Rounding corner to third base; should be home by the deadline.
Decided to paint the rear wheels copper tone. Still need to finish the copper studding on the edge of seat, remount rear wheels and attach the "hot" wheel disc and final test spin. Then it is photo time.

Thanks Kingfish. Nobody pays attention to details like you do. Your build is freaking amazing.

Okay, took her for spin. Heavy and steady. Perfect for this fatboy.

Falstaff, thanks for the encouraging comments. This is what makes it all the more enjoyable; to make cool stuff that fellow builders appreciate and vice versa.

Absolutely impressive use of copper and chrome and black.
Looks like it could have come from another era with practicaliy for today.
Not just a looker but a rider as well, as all rat rod art is.
