    Just took her out , only went around the block and lit up the tires a bit.. ( I couldn't resist)
    As for as plans, right now just gotta get that chevy orange offa her.. thinking Oxblood.. have to tie up some loose ends but other than that shes a runner!

    I'd love to see her as an early 60's hot rod, but lets finish paying her off first

    Blake.. I wanna have a "Bring your A to my house so i can get ideas "party soon...
    I'll keep ya posted

    Thanks for all the Congrats guys.. been waiting a long time for her..

  21. Sweeeeeeeeeeet! congrats, man - your patience paid off. Just look out for them giant lizards in the road now.

    can't wait to check it out - so how many hours did you spend in the garage fooling with it/staring at it?

    I'm in for some bench/belch sessions, yeah

    We know how to handle giant lizards...

    1. Nitro in your front seat while driving in a bumpy field
    2. A nice round of "My Baby She Rocks"

    Glad to see it's finally here... Now I won't see my husband anymore, and have to call Rocco's wife to send him home!

    :p

    What needs to be done is drive the wheels off of her. Congrats Rocco. Maybe I'll have the bike done sometime this century and we can hit the road and terrorize old ladies and little kids.

    Feels good, huh...just went and picked up my '31 from the chop shop in the pouring rain. Got drenched, but it's home and I like it. Now it's time to blow it apart and get it ready for next summer. Let the fun begin.
