Recommended Posts

Told you I found it John.  You ALWAYS have something on the bench I just have to look around sometimes to find you/it.  I read the comment (Chris?) about you being 1 week into the build.   Just shaking MY head at that.   Oh, and yes John, it's VERY cool.  cheers

Orion Silver Base Coat on the body and then H.O.K. Kandy Apple Red......I made the front end, handle bars and bulb horn and painted them Alclad.......I also modified the trans and belt drive and painted them  Alclad and lightly weathered ........I modified the rear end and got that painted and weathered.......I modified the rear wheels and painted them Alclad......I used Paul Rowe Resin Slicks and got them painted and lightly weathered.......I modified the engine and added a few details and painted it Alclad and lightly weathered ........I will airbrush the white graphics on the body and add the Coca Cola Decals next......thanks for looking.

I'm not sure where the school is located but I just have to sign up for classes that you and Randy D. graduated from.  Like I said about Randy's thread................"see the picture, make the picture".    Awesome scratch-building John.   Cheers
