crazyjim Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Probably not what you were expecting to see. The tires are actually 1/16" smaller diameter than stock. Just 2 1/2 times as wide. Pearl-Ex antique copper was mixed with HOK intercoat coat for the color. Side pipe holes were filled and an aluminum rod exhaust flows underneath.

MeatMan Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Very well done! I think its better than the custom I made last year as it keeps all of the original designs intact while adding some modern wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
