BSA project

intrudin

Coast to Coast
Its a 1969 Thunderbolt...I picked it up as a sad looking Chopper with a few milk crates of parts it had a wicked raked out front end with 6' over tubes the rear end had solid struts....Well after much debate i've decided to bob it then after a few more brews, i had a vision ;D so now its going the tracker route ... a few pics for now
 
Interesting... Ill be watching this one for sure. I kinda dig it as is though. Well the stance/shape at least.
 
So that was the begining... progress has been made ,I picked up a stock frame with ownership striped, it then painted it with POR15. The wheels were shot so cut the hubs out and sent them to Mayfair plating (toronto) and got the chrome striped of. These were also painted black POR15.... the hubs have been refurbished and painted Red, and the cover plates to be polished.. The spoke kits installed my self this was my 2nd set of wheels i have done, def get better with practice
