Rusty, have you been doing all this yourself besides the machining? I thought you worked in the electronic arts, not the mechanically inclined with mad skills field.

Hahaha. Yes. Besides the machining. I have done eveything myself.
Been working TV/Film industry for 14yrs. But before that I had a VW Restoration shop. I learned all my tooling skills from helping my dad build hot rods and race cars when I was a weee monkey. Lol

Damn you had a shop prior to 14 yrs in your current field? Thought you were like 20 with a burly beard. Keep updates coming. WE may need to speed up the process! I expect another high quality video of a ride as well.

Bahahaha. No. I'm in my late 30's.

I wish I could hurry this build up. But going through a nasty divorce and custody battle. Funds are short in the mean time.

Believe be man. Next Vid is going to be a lot better than the last. Big plans... ;-) lol

These little beauties came this week.. Custom made Tail/Brake light and two sets of turn signals from Chad Pecchi at shop102.com
I'll be making mounts and wiring them in hopefully next week.

New T. fits like a charm! LOL

This is the old tail light.. Wasn't much of a fan of it. Didn't tickle my pickle. So can't wait the see these shop102 lights go in. Think they will be just the trick I'm looking for. =)

That's looking very cool Rusty.  I dare you to ride to Barber's on it.  It's not that far.

I'll have to take a photo when I'm done building the new mount for it. It will be tucked up beside/under the speedo. In the little gap behind the head lamp bucket.
