Coast to Coast
Hi everybody,
Got on a picture taking jag the other day while I was shooting some photos of parts I've got for sale and thought, what the heck, haven't kept up to date with where I'm at on the "Baby Tracker" Honda CD175 my daughter and I started ages ago.
Have made a bit of progress in the frame department - pretty much what you see is where I'm leaving it, am sanding the years of rust and DPO paint jobs off what is left of the original frame as well as prepping the new bits at the same time. We were originally going to powdercoat, then looked at plating, will go back to our original plan of silver metallic frame and stay with thechromed fenders and black (CF) seat and tank that we already have.
Anyway, have a look at the photos and see what you think; I'm always open to comments and suggestions.
Probably keep me busy this winter, between this and the XV café, which I'm trying to have ridable by June.
Have a Happy Holiday Season.
