Howdy all here is a before/during build shot showing my massive MS paint skills. Soon as I get some nice weather Im gonna put another coat on and finish off the front end. Then rear end and running brake lines and such. Have the dash all fabbed up and will start running the electrical system as soon as I have enough coats of paint on the frame. I dont want all my wires to be green lol.

Here is a little better view of the frame with the gas tank and radio rack before the OD paint and floor install

Those side pods are almost exactly what I want to do to my rail. Only real difference is I plan on adding hinged lids and making lockable compartments out of them.

Good to see your FAV is coming along so well. Any idea when you'll have it up and running? I didn't ask when it will be finished since these things are never really finished. Laughing
