A Tank & Tail section I built recently has been painted now and it looked so nice, I thought I'd share some pix:

Here is a link to the whole build process:

Hey Jeff - really like how you mounted the fender to the brace, clean install.

Is that a fast from the past brace?

brandEn · « **Reply #14 on:** September 30, 2013, 08:07:21 pm »

NICE!
What color is that?

brandEn · « **Reply #15 on:** September 30, 2013, 08:08:35 pm »

YOU SHOULD SELL THESE!

FunJimmy · « **Reply #16 on:** September 30, 2013, 08:13:25 pm »

Those are the bees knees.
Excellent integration too.

Godffery · « **Reply #17 on:** September 30, 2013, 09:25:28 pm »

Yes, the fork brace is from Fast from the past.

The color is 2013 Porsche 911 called Anthracite Brown Metallic.

What should I sell...? Can't see the pic; can you post a link to the photo?

I posted a picture of that hub bearing retainer removal tool you made out of a socket. That's a pretty cool device.

Oh, Thanks.
There is a guy in the UK making Honda specialty tools; I forget the name but have seen him post some on feebay.
If I can find a link, I'll post it.
