Ride and take care of the honey do list that I've been blowing off....
I'll find a project for next winter or go back to the 73 Dodge Challenger that I put on hold for this. I also have a 1971 Ebko Stinger tunnel hull that's about 1/2 way through a restoration project.

Wow I'd be honored, and I know Fartmatt would understand. I have told anybody that donated to the project that if I did not use their donation I would either return it to them, or donate to another person's project. I guess what would you suggest?

I have seen a couple of examples of the etched shields and they are totally cool. And as far as Helmets go right in your back yard at HV cycles right next to the 77 highway onramp has the same type that I use. Reasonable and light. Congrats on the bike Batman looks great.

Looks really good, thanks for letting us vicariously be part of your project. I think a personalized plate is in order "CHPSKT".
