Nice transformation. I'm really digging the army look.

Re: The Throwback

Too cool, we both had pretty much the same idea -- olive drab and black, star on the frame, lettering on the chainguard, and saddlebags. Crazy! Does your chainguard lettering have any significance?

Re: The Throwback

GREAT job, baby ! ! Would never know that this was your FIRST build. Love the time together around the bikes, and love the way your little AMF came out.

I originally didn't plan on doing a military theme... I stumbled upon the hand grips and had to have them and it completely changed the direction of the build. As to the chaingaurd lettering yes, they do have a significance. It' s not military related. It's actually a nod to my geekness (if that's even a word). Before I say what it is I'll wait and see if anyone else figures it out.

Pretty cool bike. I am always amazed how a whole bike can be built around one piece. It's happened to me that same way before. You find one part and it inspires a whole build.

The C-45P4 is the original license plate on the Impala from Supernatural when John Winchester buys it in '73. The 67 is the year the Impala was made.

J - Jenna (oldest daughter)
A - Audrey (younger daughter)

K - Kelley (momma Mac)

MAC - ( for McAlpine last name )

Problem is we now have five of us with my youngest, Iain. We haven't figured out how to integrate the "I" yet.
