This is my son's build he is pulling out the parts he wants and doing
The wrenching ..... One of my best memories is of my uncle and I building
A bike together when I was 10.
Loved that bike!

Hope for my son to have pride in his bike and building skills
Thanks again!

Everything painted just need to asemble.

Always great to build with a youngster, especially you son.

You should upgrade your paint stand to one like Rat Rod's :lol: :lol:
