The Mean Machine - FINISHED!

[OddJob]

I actually love the look of this. A vintage hot rod, just no room in the garage, during summer it sits out behind the barn and gets driven to car shows on Friday night, and ice cream runs on Sunday afternoon. Please include some close-ups of your work as well. If you didn't already have a name, "Envy" might have been a good one....as in...'green with'....

Love it!
If George Jetson had a bicycle... this would be it.

Thing came out over the top cool.

funny story: I was at the Syracuse Nationals with the Syracuse Classic Bikes exhibit, and one of the members showed me your build On his smartphone. -he was actually following the build (or you?) on FB and loved your bike.

I need a bike of that color in my collection somewhere!

With apologies to Jan and Dean....

Out back in a rickety old garage, is a ratty old, lime green, Super Stock Dodge...

Was doing some yard work and stuff Saturday and went into the shop to cool off. Saw the Mean Machine sitting there in the subdued natural light and snapped a few pictures in the shop. Gotta get the pictures done and write up the finished thread before all the work becomes a DNF.

Finally got the finished thread done. It's been fun and it's been a lot of work. The hardest part was staying on task. LOL

The fuzzy dice are essential. Bike looks great in the shop, where a hotrod lives between battles

Very cool. You have a knack with the wood working. Great work!

I got a big kick out of the Thrush Glasspacks!
