I had visions of the Spikeybike but with the gas tank on the bike and the acetylene stored in the garage

Glad to see you brought this pain on yourself and wasn't by accident!

so does that mean that i have too much life if it has taken nearly 4 years to get mine only "half as apart" as yours?

I'm just saying, who needs decorations and colors that match when you can sit and stare at interesting motorcycle parts instead.

kghost · « **Reply #14 on:** May 09, 2008, 11:48:12 AM »

Oh theres lots of motorcycle parts.....

And airplanes and airplane parts...

And about 100 other things....

Those pics scare the hell out of me. I want to do a frame off resto to my 400F and seeing all the parts like that, wow! Overwhelming, but seeing it all back together will be another thing, lol. Quite jealous at this point!

tsflstb · « **Reply #16 on:** May 12, 2008, 09:44:34 PM »

Ok. It's been 4 days now. Judging by your past progess you should have it back together and running like a top. Probably rode it a few hundred miles over the weekend too. Where do you find a powdercoater with that kind of turn-around?

I'm digging the man cave. I gave up my old bachelor furniture with our last move and I miss it terribly.

I drove it to his house and know where he lives.

No actually I am waiting on chrome to come back. Its always something.

Additionally I redid an old injury. 3 x-rays yesterday on the left shoulder and an MRI scheduled today.

That and I had to put the stinson back together for a funeral / flyby on saturday

Crappy week all in all

cbass*gxc · « **Reply #18 on:** May 13, 2008, 07:46:02 AM »

I gotta say I wish I had a shop like that. Though my woman probably wouldnt like it much, I sure as hell would.

kghost · « **Reply #19 on:** May 15, 2008, 10:06:01 PM »

Well the chromer didn't like his results and is replating some pieces...

I sure love that Chrome shop...He called this morning to tell me he wasn't happy and was redoing them and apologized for the delay...gotta love him..

Anyways heres an update....

fishman_Phil · « **Reply #20 on:** May 15, 2008, 10:33:07 PM »

Don't rush it. It is coming along very nice indeed. Checked out your first pics with what you started with and very nice.

Is that the same tank you pulled the dent on? Looks like NOS.
