    You really do, do nice work makes me want to start a project. But my painting skills would not come remotely close.

    Look's good , Do you have any type of metel in the leather battery box? Not only to help hold the shape But if the batt even thinks about a leak/corosen(sp) it will eat the leather up real fast ,chobber1 look's real cool so far & the SS on the rear axel & leather is a real good touch :cool:

    Redneck Chucktx wouldn't let me sneak off on the bike anyway............

    And as nice as the paint job is and all the Chrome and power coating on it. I'd be scared I might scratch it.
    I'd realy be in trouble then.

    That is for you to do............:D

    Man i'm really thinkin about sneakin over to chucktx garage and pickin the lock on the door and takin the sportster out for a stroll when he gits the tin on it.
    The bike looks like it would really run nice.
    Chucktx is probaly gonna post some pictures of what all else he has got done to it today.
    The bike is gonna looks badd ass.
    I want to ride it so bad I can't stand it.
    And if I do it while nobody is there nobody would ever know.:D

    Anyway Chucktx probaly won't even care.:gah:
