I have a rather large update tonight. I finally finished painting my tins. A buddy and I setup a nice little paint booth in my garage. Here's all the pictures I took so far, need to get out next weekend once it warms up and photograph this pig.
The color is from a 1970's Toyota FJ cruiser. I saw a guy with it on his Model A hot rod at a local show last summer and loved it. I also thought it would tie the bike together much better than the raw tank look.
badass work man! and loving the vdub in the back! going to the new Sowo?
hahahah thanks man! Naaaa, I will not be attending SOWO. I actually need to start body work on the car. She's rough in some areas.

is that your stock rear fender chopped? that's exactly the size I want.
Hell yeah, Scotty! It's the stock fender. Just cut it and literally slid the fender until the rear-most mounting holes back to the taillight mounting holes.

I also like the setup on your front fender. Can you tell me a little about it?
Hi! Yes, I prep'd, primed, wet sanded, base coated, and then 2 coats of clear.
Front fender is stock 2013 Sportster 48...just painted.
