Dutch, that's a masterpiece of design and execution.[cl
Thank you Bob. I do hope my masterpiece is yet to come though... :D

Did you drive it out if the shop? Around the block, maybe? :D [cl
Nope, no runner yet... I did make the Harley sound while pushing it out :p

Dutch. This is beautiful. Please post pic of it painted if possible. It is kind of a shame to cover all of that work with paint though.
Thanks Kenny, I will. I hope it will be finished the way I would. I do worry a bit about the runningboard design. I think the dark blue color will look good on it.

Wow, Dutch!
Thanks Mac.
 
and gone... :)

I hope it gets painted quickly(although it might really look cool in rust) instead of sitting around until your hard work degrades...

All panels are cleaned up and coated with a bare surface protection solution which is used for machines. It will be protected for some time.
 
And whats next [S
@@[P@@

first building the planishing hammer frame and rebuild the Pexto shear.
I purchased a big throatless shear a while ago and it needs some attention too.
I tore it down today for clean up and sharpening the blades.

First week of 2021 it`s time to dive back into the 54 pick-up.

I'll be watching your progress on the Chevy truck, and learning along the way!

Please start a build thread on the truck, dutch. We will all be watching.

So, since it`s about 2 yrs ago this bike was collected from my shop, I thought I`d text the owner to see what`s the current state of his project. He told me all sheet metal is in primer and the only thing left to do is installing the belt drive .
Then it`s driving and fixing whatever crap surfaces, getting it tech inspected and tear it down for paint.

I`m guessing at least another year before bling pics...? [P
