Thanks for the comments. I have a few pics of the work in progress. I ddint take many though. Here are some after it was cut and trying to decide how far to take it without goin too far. And a few of the welds and body fill to make it look right. After it was painted, you cant tell it was ever even touched. This bike has never seen the dealer since the day I bought it, unless we were picking up a t shirt or something. I did everything myself and still have WAY too much money involved.

Now its on to the next project, I think I am done with it.
