Merry Christmas Everyone !!!!!!

Awesome as usual John !

Yes I have an awesome wife ! Going on 22 years of marriage.

Well my awesome beautiful wife wanted to surprise me this year for Christmas but was not sure that I would be happy with her decision on the gift she wanted to get for me so she let the cat out of the bag last night which was trading in my 08 Harley Rocker C for the 2014 Street Glide Special ! Of course she confided in my best friend that I ride with & he said to go for it ! so she set it all up with the Harley Dealer but was still concerned that I would be upset if the Rocker C was gone .But my wife remembered me saying to her that on the long rides it was killing my back and especially this past year to Bike Fest in Vegas was really hard on the back big time and I'm not getting younger so I would mention it once in awhile to her that it would be nice to get on a touring bike to ride in more comfort and pain free. I have been looking to get a touring bike so tomorrow we will be going to the Harley Dealer to finish up the paper work on the new bike. Yes I will miss the Rocker but now I will be riding in comfort & style for many miles to come with the latest bells & whistles on the Street Glide & hopefully finally get my awesome wife on the bike also. Merry Christmas Everyone !!!

Nice Pics !

Looking Good Art !

I 'am personally impressed with Johns amazing building skills and the one off subjects he builds & I have had the pleasure to meet him at quit a few shows these past couple of years as I started back in this hobby after being absent for some 20 years from building. As far as the belt & cog go so what yes it is noticeable when someone points it out but why dwell on it let it go. He is an amazing talent and he has helped this hobby grow enormously in more ways than one and is an inspiration to me as a builder to push me to try more advanced techniques while building my next subject and this hobby needs builders like John. Rock On John !

Thank you guys for the tips on the harness ideas. I found a couple of things at Joanna's today which may work for my application and they are Jewelry Designer Leather Cord in 2mm & 1mm. Going to try these when I start to work on the engine bay of my Resto Modded 67 Shelby with the 2010 Super Charged engine that is on the Work Bench.

Looking Good !

Small update with photos, Finished up the battery cables & ends and now they are attached to the battery & battery installed to the scratch built battery box which will placed and secured in the trunk. I have also finished up the electric fan assembly with the wiring and attached the electric fan to the radiator. Next will be attaching fuel line to the Nos bottle and the fittings & installing the Nos bottle. Thanks for looking !

Anyone have any suggestions on what I can use to simulate the cover for the wiring harness that is in scale ? (1/24 scale ) Working on the engine harness for a 2010 Super Charged Coyote engine. Going to go to Michaels today to see if I can find something that will work but thought I would ask anyway. Thank You

You can't forget the guys that drive the Nitro burning Top Fuel & Funny Cars , these cars are now generating 10,000 Hp and I bet that is a lot to handle even though they drive in a straight line its got to be brutal to handle.

Small update, I have finished the battery cables & have installed the cable ends, I was not happy with the color of the scratch built battery box so that got repainted today & also painted the radiator in aluminum so next will be to install the electric fan to the radiator & later this evening install the battery cables to the battery & battery to battery box as long as it is dry from the repaint today. Will try to get some updated pictures up this evening.

Small update, I have the battery box & hold down painted & cleared & battery painted. Next will be to add the battery posts , battery cable ends & battery cables to the battery. I also have the brake booster installed to the firewall & have the brake master painted in detail & drilled for the brake lines.

Looks awesome ! I have that kit on my build list.

Small update, Battery tray & battery hold down finished so next will be shooting them with some primer & also shooting some primer on the battery then start on the battery cables and ends. I also have the fire wall painted as well as the brake booster and brake master. Thanks for looking !
