Look at the work that's gone into this thing. In the flesh it's truly spectacular and the closer you look, the more you see.

Inspiring stuff! :first:

Nah still don't get the whole cruiser/choppery thing. Why would you add things to a bike to make it heavier or harder to clean/maintain (well if you ride it at least).

Nice work though.

That's the question.

That's the answer.

It's all about the looks.

It's got a 95inch Sputhe motor fitted. Edelbrock heads, Mikuni HSR40, Hypercharger, custom wheels and suspension and FUCKIN LOUD PIPES.

It's here after some accident repairs I believe.

There's two and a half grands worth of forward controls alone on it.

That same wheel could look very bling bling, if it was to be chrome plated I reckon.

Yeah, I thought about that and agree... its the 80's silver paint that makes it look crap

Well, with my 50+ eyes, no glasses and a small picture it looked alright to me!!! - but then even with faults I am that much of a dreamer I can always see the 'potential' even if it is rough!!

Might buy you some glasses then... imagine if you had a nice '33 3 window... dropped, chopped and channeled and then put a set of CSA 3 spoke 14" by 10" rims on it... you know those ugly things that commodore drivers thought were cool in '83? and you did all this in 2004.. :puke:

O.K., ya got me, it's like guys that put 13" rims on '48 fords in the 80's, (mind you, the mag selection was limited back then).

I've got a '37 coupe, it's going to have chrome wide rims, beam front axle and no roof chop. It WILL have a 460 big-block, tunnel-ram and 4 speed big-input top-loader AND it WILL be cool- but then I don't HAVE to tell you it's cool, do I?? :cool2:

Got REAL Centrelines on my '55 F100, had them for years, 15"X10" at rear, 14"X7" at front and 3 1/2 X 15" for a spare. Heaps of imitations but only the one real Centreline. '37 coupe is a driver with 350 Chev and Muncie but they have to go to the guy I got the coupe from, hence the 460 etc.
When I get a digital camera I will send pics.

Meantime got to finish Chrissy-Bimbos (Mrs S.D) '62 Fairlane compact. - and the XN85.

Tru dat. Its a bit like ice hockey and grid iron in a way. 5 minutes of actual sport then 10 minutes of time outs or cautions. Talk about drag it out.
