    Brad,
    Looks really good. Nothing finer than that first ride.

    Be careful with those bones. I broke one on El Tiki doing the same thing.

    We would love to but our jobs wont allow us to take that much time off. We are pretty lucky to go for the weekend. We will someday make the drive out its been a dream of ours for a long time.

    A good friend of mine works in a machine shop and was able to wire them out for me on his lunch hour and break time. Each one took 8 hours to make.

    Yes, Chrome plating might have had something to do with my undoing.....

    Mine were a pair of drilled, sleeved, and TIG welded 47 Lincoln bones.
