Hi Mark! We don't know each other, but we are the same age, and both Grand'Pa to young girls. As much as I love model building, I salute your intend to spend more time and artistic pursuits with them. Nothing that comes in a box will EVER beat that. Wish you the best! CT

Hi Bob! As a former Ranchero owner, I can say your model is really impressive. Can't wait to see it completed. Bravo! CT

I can only imagine the ride of this rigid sporty... Here in the great white north (Quebec city), the roads aren't exactly silky smooth, due to the freezing winter temps and spring thaw. I had one rigid chopper, with a killer look... but it was also killing my back! Can't have it all? CT

Hi Chuck! Your Sporster was great looking, if only because the lower frame section is "almost" paralel to the ground. A balanced look. The LA Chopper has a springer that is a smidge too long, giving the bike an "uphill" look. Now, I understand it was hot in the late 60's. But I was riding back then, and believe me, some exagerated chopper were a handful to drive. My chopper had a 10" over AEE Fury springer, a level lower frame (extended & raked), but drove fine. In the end, a matter of taste. Or survival? As the saying goes: " I went trough the 60's twice, and it was more exciting the first time" LOL. CT

Hi Ken! Much more proportioned and realistic than the box-stock build. Bravo! CT

Pink Barbie ice?

Thanks Andy. But you better believe it! LOL

Hi Bob! Very nice and clean, and such a rare kit! I never ever saw one for sale at any show. I envy you. Bravo! CT

a Hollywood Diva?

Thank you Doyle. It brought back many memories from the time when my back was still willing to go for a ride. Memories... CT

Thank you John! Being an older guy who went trough the ORIGINAL chopper craze (late 60's), the extremely long choppers look a bit "dated" to me, hence the pro-street look that I favor for HD's. A matter of taste, I guess? CT

Thank you Rusty, much appreciated! CT

Thank you Anders! CT
