Oh wow
That bike really is a showstopper and I'm sure you will have many more 1st prizes with it. Fantastic work

I've said it before and I'll say it again- what an absolute work of art, Arnold. What an absolutely amazing build, you left nothing out on this. You deserve that first place, and I'm sure there will be many more.

No luck at all here. Nothing but clear vision and extraordinary fabrication and hard work.

Very nice.

That´s why I put the bike in the shed and went on with my next "Winter Project" :silly:

Hard to say with the current pic and disassembly but yes that is a Vette and I would guess a 1959 or potentially 1960 model, gorgeous works of art!

Congrats and best of luck ;)
