Re: Golden Rod

Great looking bike... in both the before and after! The tank with the pop rivets is very cool. Expect that idea to be borrowed.

Re: Golden Rod

Great job on the tank, it really makes the bike pop. Its going to look amazing when its complete. Do you have a name or code for that color?

grego47,
Love this bike, beautiful color and, like I said before, I'm inspired by the tank.
One question, how's it attached? Any pic?

Cheers!

Hello again,

I took some photos tonight of the bike with the wheels and tires on. I was planning to take the photos at a cool location, like an old gas station, or a repair garage, or something along those lines. Maybe another time.
Just so I could get something up quickly, here is a shot on the ping pong table...

After that I took it for a little ride to find a better place to take some pictures.

As you can see we got another dusting of snow tonight, but that helped with this shot.

And one more.

To answer a couple of questions.......The color is a '09 Ford truck color called "Amber Gold Metalic".

The tank is two halfs that are attached by bolts to two pieces of flat metal that act as a spacer. I JB Welded them into place before painting.

Thanks again for all the compliments.

Later on,

Re: Golden Rod

Very nice! Got a lot of qualities, classic lines, hot rod aerodynamics, all in a concise piece of art. 8) EXCELLENT!
The photos are top notch!

Re: Golden Rod

One of my favorite builds. I have that same frame and you have inspired me to do something different.
