Default Winter project
Took down to bare frame and painted same color as tins and added some chrome goodies. It was a fun project. Didn't even have any extra parts.

I'm sure it looks good but it hard to tell with postage stamp size pics like this



By the way, seeing as your pretty new, welcome to HDF

I'd like to see a bigger picture that shows the frame, one of the things I like about the Rocker is the body color frame.
