Thanks for all the compliments - i found a great painter here in town and I did the rest myself, which i'm not that mechanically inclined but I did manage to put on the true duals one rainy afternoon...took me a while but I got'em on.
That's exactly what i wanted - the 57 belair look. And that is my next goal - find a belair something like this...

Good luck find a car like that in that condition and if you do you better be ready to fork over a pile of money for it.
They are getting a really good price for anything that nice.
BTW that's a 55, not a 57, just in case you didn't know.
Nice cars, but a real bear to steer in a parking lot if they don't have power steering.

Can't take credit for that...dealer did it for me
Ahh, I misunderstood you, I thought you did everything except the paint. I was going to say, if you did the swingarm the pipes should've been a breeze. Nice bike, like the nostalgic look.
