Great ideas - watch out for the powder coating had all mine done at the same place but it had to be done three times before i was happy (shame Joe is so far away - hey maybe he needs to open a European branch)



keep us all posted and good luck with the budget (dont tell the wife the real cost)

I hope it will be!

About the paint, I can't make my mind between 2 choices; first one is more chopper than bobber in my eyes, it’s the same as my helmet



The second one would be just plain satin rather dark brown a little bit darker as my helmets brown, with some old school style writing “ŕ la Nash” on the rear fender, don’t know about the tank…

Remember this bike will be darkened, every single chrome or aluminum part will be powder coated or replaced by a brass part !

What do you guys think?
