    Doing a lil weight watchers. Trimming and lighting on the hood. Once we get the front cap full assembled. It will go back on the scales.

    Hopefully next weekend we will make a bigger lick on progress. Been so long since I used my tubing bender I had to re- train myself. Wasted about 10 ft of 1 1/8 c/m tubing today!!

    We did a little tinkering on the tilt tree tonite. Bent the 3/4 tubing to follow the fenders. IMG_20220118_183837488.jpg IMG_20220118_183816887.jpg
