Wow Joe.. I can't believe how amazing that thing looks! I think once you get the seat on, it won't make the tank look so bare. I'm seriously jealous of how you can make a POS motorcycle turn into that! I remember you posting about that thing the day you got it. You could never recognize that its the same bike. Very good work brotha!

 

Joe...that tank needs a bold gold stripe along the top contour. Think '69 Hurst/Olds...

 

damn that car is hot!

 

That's my all-time dream car.

 

and the other side

 

Man that is an awesome awesome idea!!!!! I love that car as well!

 

I should have kept that idea to myself. ha ha I've been photoshoppin my bike a little and I like the idea of a '69 h/o theme. It really is my all time favorite car. Came close to owning one back in the late 80's but it was severely neglected and vandalized. The mirrors alone are impossible to find, as Olds only imported, from England, enough for the cars they built that year...very low 500's. Also, the rear spoiler is fully functional, producing 60+lbs of downforce at 60mph...my memory may be off a little on exact figure but Im darn close.

 

hell man DO IT! i still have to do a bunch of stuff... i am going to leave the tank how it is for now... let it get off the lift and on the ground and see what it says to me

 

well fellas here she is! I put on 35 miles this weekend between rain and working in the shop. i still need to adjust some things, put the padding on the seat... and i really want to dial her in, but hell she handles AMAZING, and really pulls off the line. Oil cooler worked great, and boy does she turn some heads. it is loud but sound very cool.
I still have to put on the seat pad, do final tune, i am going to shave the shifter spine linkage so that it does not rub the oil line, redo the rear brake linkage... then she is all done!
(the seat has tape on it, to protect the paint while i am waiting on my padding to come in.. it is not dull that is just the tape on there)
