thanks :mrgreen:
i was gonna clean the tank up and glaze everything out nice and pretty but i think its more fitting left rough

Your workmanship does not need to be "cleaned" up. It looks perfect the way it is.

Well, if your done with that one I'll take it! I love what you did. You have some real choice parts assembled just the way I like. The tank looks great to!

That bike is swweeettt, love the extra long seat springs and the tank. You know there is a market for those tanks :idea: You have a classic looking bike there

Nice job. Everything was selected just perfect for this bike. Is that an original Sweetheart skiptooth painted? Looks different and better than chrome would.

and someone asked for a shot of my seat set up so here ya go........

just a stock prewar seat post(lucky 7 type if that helps at all flipped over so the long part is clamped to the seat and the short part is in the seat tube)

Your bike is awesome. Very nice work on the tank!

I really like it. The all black makes it look tough and refined. Great job.

Man, that bike is nice. It scores a 10 with me. Hope you don't mind but I will be keeping that bike as reference for a future build. :mrgreen: 8)

Very nice, i just found a hawthorne that is very similar. I hope it comes out as nice as yours

Reminds me of when "Ferris" is talking about the Ferrari. "It is so choice...if you ever have the means, I highly recommend picking one up." The seat makes the bike.

the seat.......i agree does help this bike alot!
and thanks for all the compliments everyone(this ones still my favorite to ride)
