K1 750-4 Cafe Racer. . .

Lots 'n lots of little jobs being finished off at the moment and Dylan is seen refitting the exhaust pipes to this project before its wheeled out the door. . .

'57 Chev. . .

Dylan carefully welding up the excess holes that find their way into the inner guards over the years. The guards will be ground up, sand-blasted and then painted in flat black before being remounted onto chassis. . .

Plymouth. . .

Hodgey has been carefully making up the front quarter windows out of the old frames. As you can see from the pic, the side window is now fairly large and the regulators are going to have to be moved owards the rear to rebalance the winding motion. . .

A Meeting of the Minds. . .

Plotting someones downfall of just generally fixing the world's problems? Who would know what this scurrilous pair are up too?
Bruno and Johnny, beautiful minds and beautiful bodies. You guys rock!

K1 750-4 Cafe Racer. . .

This one has been in the shed for a while and has featured in the pages before. It was a 'mint' red Honda K1  750-4 and it has now been modified into a Cafe Racer. Dylan has pulled it down for its final lick with the spray gun before being re-built and returned to its owner. . .

Johnny's Trike. . .

 Seems that Johnny was seriously aggrieved by Friday' pics that showed more of Andrew than his Trike, so I've been 'encouraged' to even out the ledger.
So here it is folks Johnny's Trike with his newly fitted exhaust system in place. . .
Andrew had to work hard to get the two front outlets under and around the front of the motor to join up with the two rear outlets that were routed under and around the rear of the motor. Once the pipes are finished off with titanium wrap they will look killer along side the matt black paint job that Johnny is looking at. . .

Studebaker. . .

 Meanwhile down at the back of the shed, the Awsomenator keeps plugging away with the big money jobs. . .
I think it's in the wrong spot Dave. . .
 Cutting a great hole in the rear quarter panel takes a lot of nerve from the Old Silver Fox. . .
Might look better where I suggested Dave?
 Too late now, Ford Proton fuel filler and hatch in place and looking like it belongs there, even if it is upside down Dave?
Look at the gaps, perfect all round and the lines run true with the body, another High Five for the Awsomenator!

I still reckon it would've looked a little bit better if you had of just listened to my plan Dave. . .
