Impressive. Not my cup of tea but I love the workmanship.

simply amazing. Not into the huge rear tire thing on many builds or the long low look. but this thing is a BAMF (Bad A** Mother.. well you get the point) Nice to see it finally finished. I remember looking at it when it began and thinking this is a cool idea but not for me. Now im speechless. Very nice ride.

Hey guys, just got back from the show, was pretty cool, I was honored to be involved. Lots of high dollar rides!

A few notes about the show:

That dragster drove into the show, and it drove out. Very cool!

The pro-gasser style cars were awesome as well.

Your eyes are not deceiving you on that pro-street truck, it has dual blowers on it. and it runs and drives as well, drove right past me on the way out of the show.

Rumor was on that green corvette that the owner has amost half a million into it!

There were quite a few trailer queen type vehicles there.

Not too many bikes though.

I did end up with a small trophy, I think they created a class specifically so I would get something, they gave me first place in the: Homebuilt one-off custom catagory Smile

Overall it was a pretty fun experience. I was definitely in over my head as far as money was concerned though. tons of money in there!

Anyway, check the pictures, let me know whatcha think....

I saw a little late on this build but Incredible job!! I love the way you modified the steering stem to run those forks too. That is what I needed for my winter dual-sport project. Now I know how to fit my forks I wanna run.
