WOW! That build is awesome! Great job on breathing some new life into that Nightster! How long did it take you from start to finish?

Thanks man! Total work involved maybe a month. But it took my paint guy about 3 months to get the tins back to me because he's kind of slow. I wasn't in a rush though and it turned out great, so it was worth the wait haha. Trying to sell it now and then I'll post up the next project!
