Yeah, the paint is wild and actually some nice work, glass smooth. After getting it home and looking at it for a while it kinda grew on me. I believe I started thinking about all the work that went into it. I may keep it just to have something to buzz around on. The Z1R isn't going to be something to just putt around on so maybe I can justify keeping it, at least until I can finish the next project which I'm allready getting parts up for. Got to stay ahead of the game and be prepared for obstacles, right? Heck, I've allready got my next 2 build ideas in my head waiting for the Z1R's finish.

I'll try and get some camera pics instead of phone pics. The bike is actually very nice. It needs a little bling so a chrome pipe and engine covers are in order and that swingarm has got to go. I'll put 1 of mine on it.
If things keep up I may sacrifice it for working capitol but have decided to keep it for now.

It is nice. Try and get us some more pictures. I know I'd like to see more of her. Great vintage paint.
Take it from me cuz I found
If you leave it then somebody else is bound,
To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure,
When yours, it could have been.

Got the bike out of the garage to do some work on it, got some pics before I put it on the lift. Actually took a little ride before these shots. Kinda getting attached to it, paints growing on me I guess.

I like it, pipe and some elbow grease and she will be with you a while :)

I could see the paint growing on me to if it still in good condition. My brother had a 70 302 Boss Mustang painted wild like that. The bell bottoms were cool back then, I think. ;)
