So here's how it looked before I took it apart for paint. This was the final everything fits mockup.



There are some changes still to be made, but that about sums it up.

Example of the paint coming up....



Sprayed onto a scrap frame I had laying around. GREAT flop if you ask me.

The tank/tail will be resprayed gloss black, and then accented with this same combo.

Thanks guys!

The tank is a GPz1000 tank. 82 IIRC.

I'll post update pics when I'm done.

Thanks dudes.

Nick, I got that clear points cover you're running. Found the guy and I'm pumped.

Justin, I'll get pics up soon. I'm removing the last few tabs this week and then the frame gets paint. I'll get pics during the process. B)
