Looking forward to seeing her all dressed up.
Mine started to get stripped t'other day and the hacksaw came into play. Hope to have a bit of time on the weekend to do some more cutting and then welding.

That is gorgeous!
IMO the swing arm needs shortening but that's just me being picky.
Very very nice.

Ran into a couple of problems. Vinyl for headlight mask was cut from the wrong template. Sent the mask to Grant at GFX Designs and he is getting a new one made up and applied for me. All that's left to do now is dye my orange tank black this weekend. This is either going to work perfectly as it has for guys on Thumpertalk forum or it's going to go horribly wrong and i'll end up with a brown tank of a pile of melted brown plastic that used to be a tank

Well I dyed the tank black yesterday. Have to say I was slightly concerned that I was either going to end up with a brown tank or a melted mess that used to be a tank. Boiled it for 2 hours in a oil drum on my gas fired BBQ and hey presto its come out proper black

Ok here she is. Just need to add the headlight mask when it arrives back and she is finished

I have now filled it up to the top and will leave it a couple of days, drain it and fill with fresh. Hopefully it will be fine then.

Good job!

What's the info on the tank dying? What's the dye type? What's the process? Cooking in an oil drum over an open fire in the dark chanting voodoo shit?
