    Fuck'in eh Rene, you taught your primo well. I remember that bike all in pieces like 3 months ago. Hats off to you and another bad ass build. Is this the one that Scott Craig painted? Can never go wrong with straight black!!! Rene, we for sure, have to talk....you ready for the next project?

    That is a sweet bike. I read the Thread on the build and that was impressed.

    I got to say,I got alot out of this project.It was awesome to see someone evolve into a pretty good fabricator.he's since gotten a job at a pretty reputable hot rod/fabrication shop here in whittier,while he attends classes toward his goal to be a Fireman.I'm really proud of him.

    Congrats! I saw it in all the pictures and forgot it was "that" bike. Now get your butt back in the garage and lets see the next one! No...WAIT! Get your homework done first! :D I have a teenager myself. Great job on the bike man!
