    Because I'm so impatient, I went ahead and mocked it up on the "garage" floor.[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Paul, I've not been on here for sometime, as I've sold me Coupe and bought an ironhead Harley.I have to say though that I've missed some GOOD stuff, I really love the vinyl inserts in fact I just love the whole chassis and motor combo.I won't leave so long next time, keep up the bloody good work.

    Nick.

    Then when I went to make some linkage I took this aluminum rod and shaped the ends and then chucked it up to polish it. Well the first one got off balance and shot like a bullett through the wall!

    Second one turned out ok..

    Yes a savvy eye may have noticed that the brake hoses are covered. What can I say? I'm insane. :)

    Upholstered frame horn inserts? My God, Man, you've gone mad! (but strangely, I find it appealing!)

    Got a call today about your Chrome. Gotta listen to the message but it's alway good when he's calling me not visa versa. Might have to wait a couple days, Momma's having some contractions this evening!!!

    Vinyl-covered brake hoses?

    Seriously. You need to start hash-tagging your IG pictures with #vinylaholic.
