Tycho modelling the latest in side panels
and tummies
Bruce putting the first coat of the two-pac black.
Front guard ready to go! What a job. Look how SHINY they are!
The wheels. They were a bit banged up before we started to Bruce bogged and sanded them until he was nearly distracted. Seems it was worth it, they turned out beautifully. They will be silver at the end, but I'm still tempted to keep them like this.
This is the final version of the tank. Smooth and shiny, it is a far cry from the banged up, dented, crappy thing we started with.
More photos next week, we are getting to the pointy end of the game. Bruce is very confident we can get this done, Tycho and I are prepared to follow along behind handing out tools. It is a hell of a learning curve for me (not for Tycho, he already knew all of this), it is very exciting. the main problem is the bike is going to look so spectacular, people are going to assume I can ride. Hope I don't let the bike down!
