In the beginning, gathering those magical combination of parts to make this bad boy...exactly that!
The ground up resto spawned the idea for the graphic and name.
A bit of Candy Red Pearl for the rally stripes, and a simple design to accent the front. I love do'n these old classics.
Repaired and resprayed his hardbox saddlebag that had some damage to the lower half. It's nice when you can help a friend out!
Lunch @ Portillo's in MoVal with my good friend Leonard Erhardt. This is his Classic HD that I had an opportunity to do some paint work on. Nice ride!
Media Blasting & Welding - are some of the other services we offer at the shop.
"The End"...that's all folks!

Before shot; Vintage Coke Ice Box - Complete ground up resto. Lots of cancer to deal with!
Li'l something on the hood and trunk.
