Right on, thanks for the pic man. I've been kicking around doing a paint job almost exactly like yours for some time now. Did you use House of Kolor flakes?

Btw here is the bike that originally inspired me, it's a '41 knuckle by Jesse James. Great color combo man

Thanks for the complements guys, I appreciate it. This damn project is taking a little longer than I expected it to take. My number 1 priority is my daughter, and money doesnt grow on trees around here, So this bike sits for weeks or even moths at time without getting touched. Im pretty sure some of you guys can relate. Im hoping to have it done by mid march if everything goes right.
