FYI: You need the mounts for some of those old badges like mine. They are bent to fit, and then you screw the emblem on the mount.

The couple of Slims I've seen with WW's looked great. Looking forward to seeing yours...

If you wanna paint it Seafoam green like the hauler, I'd love to see that.

It has crossed my mind. I have thought about using some green and white pinstripping.

No luck on the backing plates being pre bent. I had no problem getting those to bend to the contours of the tank, the emblems, not so much.

I don't know Slim the white walls look out of place to me but that's jmo and it really doesn't count.I think it's the Alu PC on the boxes and primary that break up the flow. The sea foam on the roller kicks ***.what year 53?
