You have any ongoing builds ?


Absolutely get it on the Vette, bet that is a fun project as well I miss working on my Camaro often times too :)

AS for my own builds, not really haha. I have an ongoing project with my GPz doing small things here and there and refreshing it as well as some modifications. But with the move, kiddo and single income there just isn't a lot of money to spend on moto projects so I do a lot of very small touches here and there mainly cleaning up and repainting or stuff like that to keep making progress without dumping money into it.

I know the feeling Brett,
But a bike can get mighty fine with limited expenses, just hang in there and TLC the crap out of it :)

Hahaha thanks Armo and thats the plan here! We wrap up the very last bits of the move this weekend which means I won't have to use the GPz as my commuter and can start tearing it apart to wrap up the engine stripping and painting. Then its onto some of the other pieces that while they don't look bad they are simply showing their age wit the paint not missing but losing its luster. Hard work and lots of patience can really accomplish a lot if you are willing to do it right and not take short cuts, as well as see it through to the end. It will be some time before I really am satisfied with it, but thats more than half the fun :)

Thanks for reading and always a pleasure to talk my friend :evil:

My wife misspelled the name "kelly" in her cell phone contacts, so every time her friend calls, it shows "kekky".
Kekky is her new nickname and it's sticking! :lol:

Nice work Armo!

Armo! I never saw that video on the old thread! She's nice and quiet at idle then gets mean when you lay on it ;) I'll have to get a video up of my girl with the 4-1 and short can. That bike is wicked as always!
