Well I've finished the The Merc and I have also renamed the bike Godspeed. It was alot of work but I had fun doing it and I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. I started with frame and fork and had bunch of parts left over from other projects that I decided to use on this build. I got an idea to make a tank for the bike and then decided to just weld on a couple of pieces of metal to the frame, I hope I didn't break any rules in the process. I got the wheels for free and painted them green, and I had some left over Hot Rod Flatz paint and decided to use it on the frame. I've got a friend that does gold leafing and I'm going to have him put the name on for me when he gets back in town, so I photoshopped the name in to give you guys an idea of what it will look like when he's done.
I hope you like.
