Oh,wow.


Nice job on the tank! Where did you rob a bowling pin from?  So, no aluminum tank at all?

I have no idea where it came from! It has been a target in our shooting range for a year and I think it was in the garage when we moved in. No aluminum tank :/  it was really expensive and cost a lot to ship back when they got the measurements wrong so I'm sticking with the original tank for now. Maybe in the future.

Painted the tank today flat black. I'm going to accent with gloss black!

Looks good. As for the bondo, don't worry about it. Everyone uses it to fix minor blemishes and dings, it when you use it to fix dents and major damage that its a no no.
It's only illegal if you get caught.

If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

Am I allowed to make a decree?....Alright, CBGirl is now officially ban-proof.

Looking forward to your tank accents. You really did a good job there! Me and bodywork don't get along, so color me jealous.

No problem. Can you make some tiny stickers that are shaped like the HD shield? My friend is looking for something like this to put on his V-Max (like that put Japanese flags on fighter planes when they would shot one down) every time he smokes a HD that tries to hang with him.

Yes! Something like that. About the size of a penny.
