I'm glad you guys seem to like the pics! And for sure I'll get some nice shots once the bike is put together.

This is the first (other than practice panels) attempt he made at fire for a customer. I think he did a good job...This is some sort of a Honda 'cruiser' (sorry guys I don't know a lot about bikes) but most of the tank and fire is covered by chrome. I just thought I would share that pic to give you an idea of the base color. I don't think it's bad for a first time job (again the pics suck and don't do it justice)

The fenders for the Honda pictured above turned out to be amazing! They were like a piece of art almost!

I think so too....(I tought him everything he knows.... j/k)

The skull on the Honda tank is his first ever free-hand skull to airbrush. It's not perfect, and I've seen better, but for a first time...not bad I don't think!

The Honda bike is amazing with the metalic purple and the yellow fire on top! Unfortunately, they guy he painted that for lives out of town so I really have no way of getting pics.

Good stuff.

Not yet. Basically is working on which wheels to go with and a few small misc. pieces. He's pretty excited about wrapping it up so I don't think it will be long and i'll have some finished shots.

Well just a few weeks after final assembly, he was at a family reunion, and his dad was sitting on the bike (a guy that has been around bikes all his life and was even a Suzuki mechanic for years) and just had a brain fart not paying attention and didn't have the stand set and layed the bike on it's side...A tragic (not to mention uneasy) moment!

I have a feeling that NO ONE is touching this bike!
Here are some pictures of this bike. It was back in '04
We had what seemed like a million hours in this bike.
