Finishing the tank.

Almost finished my gastank. Still needs some minor bondo work. 

I will paint it black and ad some homemade AMF style decals. 

New wheels

Made a new wheel from parts i have collected over the years. 

Used a fx hub, new spokes and an barely used 21" rim. 

After several tries I finally managed to get the lacing as it should be an tensioned the spokes. 

Used my old Avon tire for mock-up. 

Next up: space the front wheel, install the disc brake and move on to the next part.

Also made some progress with my seat pan. Detriment the final look and wille now finish it so it can be upholstered.  

Last but not least. I've almost finished the hardtail struts. They only need some final welding and a nice color. 

Some thoughts

I finally got my frame back from the welder so i can start building my dream chopper.

I'm also becoming a master in using paint (LOL) to vizualize my thoughts.

This is how she is probably going to look like when i'm finished. The color will be a dark metalflake brown ( Rootbeer ) with AMF style yellow/orange striping. Seeing her like this i'm thinking to change the rear wheel to a 18 inch en adding a king queen seat instead af the current 16 inch en solo/p-pad setup.

First mock-up after welding. Everything fits like it did and the frame seems to be as straight as an Arrow.

In the mean time i'm also becoming a true bondo guru in the proces of finishing the gastank for the other bike.
