That tank is sweet... I say go for it.

Sounds like a good idea to me Kingfish!
I still like the catfish idea though... :wink:

It wood also be easy to make burled wood pedal blocks that wood look good. I wood be careful though not to use too much wood! Just enough wood wood be classy but too much wood wood take away from the wooden tank! I think glossy black fenders wood look better.

Just my opinion, I know from seeing your other builds that you aren't subtle with your ideas! :wink:

BTW, I love the louver insert idea!

Thanks for the input. I can appreciate that there should be a balance. Point taken. :mrgreen:

A lot of wood might be OK as we'll, a couple from the NAHBS...

For a while now I was dead set on using my 53 Columbia, but tell me what you think of this Higgins Hiney Tree Woody idea.

This beehive

With this 50s Higgins frame and burled fir wooden tank

Then I am thinking of getting some thin strips of the same burled fir to make some wooden fenders and inserts for the skirt louvers on these Higgins skirt guards

What a nice collection of springer forks

I am going to be adjusting my strategy a little bit, it won't be the Gas Monkey Gasser anymore (Couldn't find any green paint with the gasser pop that it deserves so it will be blue instead. I found a blue that has just the right pop to it for a great gasser look.

Here is a little inspiration, one of the most famous gassers of all time!

That is pretty close to the color I got too. More metal flake though.

I did just a test patch to see what this color looks like laid out. Looks amazing! This part will not be used on my build just what I had handy. This is with no wet sanding, no clear-coat, no prep work at all. I can't wait for the build off, this is going to be SWEET!

Might go with this idea also based off of one of these...

That's going to be interesting to watch! Are you going to make a scaled-up banana seat? The picture makes me think that it would be a good bit larger than normal.

The one I have coming is 20 or 21 inches long so if I'm not totally off on my sizes it should be just about that size.

That paint looks perfect Outskirtscustoms!
Nice finish and colour.

A color palette of Candy Kelly Green with silver metal flake Emerald Green pearl Ghosting; enhancing all of that green, silver metallic pinstripes (triple/doubled) on a tangerine plate. A killer paint job goes a long way – I’ve seen some unbelievable paint jobs at the Laconia Bike Week, Americade Lake George and at the New York International Motorcycle Show over the years – fancy du-dads are just another distraction, because the greatest Eye Candy there is, is color.

Thanks, I was kinda hoping it would look good and I am impressed with Dupli-color yet again. I also tried it over a few test spots one with a black base coat and one with a chrome base coat, I think I am going to go with a black base coat, the chrome spray paint just gives it too much bling. Now the hard part: waiting till the build off. I also picked up my last few parts today, master link for the chain and a few bolts. So I am ready to rock.

Just found a little inspiration from this site! Turns out this has been done by Rusty513 using the same car as inspiration. So I will be pulling some inspiration from this as well.
