The Harley restoration shop, yes. The furniture shop with a similar name is in Canada.

This just came back from the chrome plater today. I'll be back into the project possibly this week. PH-6 is correct for my 48. I need to find the correct one for the sidecar with the little red light on top plus another fender tip to match the bike.

You're killing me Paul!

I can't even get one project finished and you are already on Project #2.

Piece came out very nice.

Dave, he is on #3, remember the 66 FL he did as well.

That chrome came out real nice, and good job not mucking up the embossed GUIDE and numbers on the side.

The 62 isn't completely finished but its rideable. My goal was to get a ride on it before we get dumped on with snow (still riding weather here thankfully) so I met that goal. I need to do a few finishing touches like get a 6v bulb for the headlight and run dedicated wires to the wig wag module because it draws more than my stock battery ground likes - it gets warm fast!

Is yours running yet?

Nope. Ran into a problem with the exhaust. The y-pipe is for a single exhaust system. Had to go aftermarket (part should be here next week). Waiting to get the right side tank back from Dent Dynamics (should be late this week). Once I do I am taking the tanks to a place out of North Hollywood that removes alll rust and crap inside the tanks and seals them.
