also painted the bars, they had rusted pretty heavy and were painted before, used krylon metal finishes, looks better in person but you get the idea. the grips had overspray on em from before, took em of and scrubbed em with fast orange hand cleaner, took the overspray off in no time !!!

painted the head/stem hardware and crank to match the bars too

got the stickers off the frame, still a bit more to do before i can paint it tho, figured id get the wheels put back together first tho.
 
Hi CCR. I agree with xddorox. The metal is really looking nice. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all comes together. Keep up the good work. Thankx for the link. Fast Eddie's mom, Aggie.

Your supposed to do an intro before the bikeforumnazis come for you !!!

(thats my wife BTW, shes currently at school in St Louis thru the week)

P.S. party at my house !!!
 
thanks guys, itll make it, the orange lense is cracked to death (crumbled to pieces when I unscrewed it), dad looked through his h-d catalogs and RED replacement lens are $2 (means thumbs-up) plus gives him a reason to order somethin for his bike too i suppose, the orange lense was the only thing i was on the fence bout. now i just gotta rig it to take a 3 watt bulb instead, maybe an LED bulb would work tho instead of guttin it.
 
not much progress but everything is pretty much here, just gotta put it together and tie up a few loose ends, anywho, little more paint on the frame, i liked the stripes it had before on the tubes so i did somethin similar, still gotta clean up a few runs and outline some stuff, hopefuly get that squared away over this weekend, NOT MUCH TIME LEFT !!!!
