Well, it was a slow, but productive day thanks to cranking some Rebel Son =D. Got the plate mount welded together and made the mounts for the light bar and dressed it up a little more. I will have to go over them some more with a file but......it was getting dark and i was getting balls tired so i called it a night. Here's what the mock up/progress of today looks like.

mmmmmmm....beer>_>






I know its lopsided, only got everything sitting in place with nothing but mechanics wire lol

Update: haven't been working on the bike since the 26th, schools gettig busy since its almost the end of my first semester plus i had day surgery done and im suppose to "take it easy" no lifitng, bending etc etc. Stay tuned tho once i got my 2 weeks off during the xmas holidays i'll be hammering away at it. Gotta get the new lights installed and propane heater into the shed so i won't be working in the dark and freezing my nips off lol.

 Depending on how things go i may not have it done by spring but, if thats the case i can spend some more time with it to make sure its done well and cleaned up nicely. I haven't decided if i wanna strip the bitch down and paint the frame yet either, thinking maybe blue or white for the frame or get it powder coated black or w/e, what do you guys think?

thanks

So it's been awhile since I've touched the bike. As I just finished school in may. I've got alot more progress done on the bike (pictures later.) I've had a few changes with the bike. It will no longer be blue and white but a gloss black and matte black scheme. I was working on it today. But my grinder decided to kick the bucket. Haven't taken it apart yet to try and fix it....and sadly our other grinder is off for repairs.

 I have about 70-75% of the fabrication done. Its gonna be alot of small minor stuff and electrical, I will be ordering my new cables,grips, leather and dye, gel pad, pipe wrap and a few other bits.

 to still show the inspiration of my dads bike the wrap and seat will be a similar blue ( ford blue) And some pinstripping accents. I'm still unsure of what the time of completion,will be but.... Its getting close:D

I hope you guys will enjoy the progress photos. Next weekend I will be trying to get a running video if my baffels and cables come in
