Another finished project. . .

 Run your eyes over this custom project. The owner wanted it built to ride and she's a bit of a 'mish-mash' of parts, but she came together beautifully and runs like a dream. . .or does it dream to run?

 Titanium exhaust wraps to stop the old calf muscles from getting too warm during extended runs. . .

 Still on the stand but nearing completion, I think we were still waiting on Quickey to finish the wiring at this stage? Seems to be a familiar stage with a lot of the projects in the shed? Quickey where are ya mate?

 Handwritten paint job says it all. . .Pykes Peak Entrant 1951.
Race fuel only, geez that'd be a few dollars more these days, fillin her up with race fuel?

 Finished job awaiting the owner to pick her up.
Custom frame built up as a 'Board Tracker'. . .
Harley Anniversary 103cubic motor and box, 6 speed from memory. But she's a 2003 model with very low K's out of a wreck from Tassie.

The owner wanted her to be built up
'looking used'. Well after she'd been around the block a couple of times with Hodgey's big arse in the saddle, she's feelin used!
Headlight housing is supplied with a few dints and scratches from a close shave with the bitumen and the rear guard has a few extra screw holes from its previous owner, all adding up to the owner's required 'theme'. . .

Pumping it too hard. . .

 This is an interesting one, Voodoo's in for some quick maintenance. Seems like someone pumped up the bags a bit too hard and broke a shocker tower?

She's a big bitch and still turns the heads in a crowd. . .ya gotta love a big bitch!

New job into the shed. . .

 Front end says V8 and the rear end says Ford.
She's genuine tin from the good ole boys in the USA, yep left hook on this chunk of Yankee metalwork.

 There's enough room under them guards to house a whole family of racoons, but I'm thinking it will be monster style rubber instead.

This should keep the 'Blue Oval' boys happy for a little while. . .shame about Bathurst again?

Quick two hours for Dave. . .

 One 'punter' drops in his Soft-Tail frame and asks for a new back-bone with clean lines? I'll be back in a couple of hours, shouldn't take any longer than that?

 Frame is mounted to a jig and old spine removed. . .clock is ticking.

 New back-bone tacked in place and looking good. . .

 Dave lining up the neck and tack-welding supports in place. . . might line up straighter if he opens his eyes?

Everything in place and check fit for the motor.
Dave takes the rest of the two hours to finish all welds and neatly grind for a smooth finish.
Time taken?

Final touches. ..

 Tail-gate looks the business with the Ford emblem stamped into the skin. . .

Steve Smith from Motor Pro making the final adjustments to the Gas Research top end. Motor was fired up and ran like a dream.
Jailbar has been loaded onto a flat top and taken home by one very happy owner. . .

The Guilty One. . .

 For a while now, we've been trying to figure out who keeps pinching all the lollies. . .

And now the camera doesn't lie. . . .

Respect. . .

Very sad news today with the passing of Hodgey and Kazz's beloved Pop. . . .

Family cuts deep Big Fella, but the memories are yours to keep.
Positive thoughts for the quiet times ahead Bloke,
La Familia. . .
