Howdy everyone. Ill go ahead and start by saying I don't have a bunch of build pics because I only really took pics at a good stopping point. But there are some and I'm almost done so I want to show it off. To start with I got this bike from this Neo Nazi looking guy and I thought it was a great deal. Turns out it was actually a piece of Frankensteined shit and I've had to replace almost everything on it. But anyways I'll get to the pics.
heres how it looked when I first got it.

After cruising it like that for a few months at a couple local shows only it got cold and build time was here. This is a Voodoo Vintage hard tail that my buddy put on at his shop for me.

Then I replaced that fucked up front end with something I was told is a 76 XS but like everything else so far, it wasn't. So I had to do some modifying but it fits good on there now. And if anyone has any ideas what it might be, I've asked before but I am always open to suggestions. I do know that they are 35mm

After that I made me a seat.

Spent weeks making that seat pan, once I finished my buddy was nice enough to inform me I could have used a skate board since thats exactly what it looks like. Then I got it wrapped for cheap. Turned out nice for a $50 job

Next the tank. I thought this looked pretty cool. I initially wanted it to rust around the tape and when I removed it, it would be rust and shiney metal from a flapper disk. However it sat outside, under shelter, and inside for two weeks and didn't rust, so I painted it with burnt copper spray paint. It turned out pretty nice but I decided to just paint the whole thing a solid copper with pearl.

I then decided to clean the engine up a bit

Once I wired it up my buddy told me that I should paint my coils to look like copper tops, so I did. It's hard to notice when everythings on it but it looks cool

Here it is semi put together with the old paint on the tank

Then here are the ones with the new paint and the exhaust

And here is the last thing I got done to it before the weekend ended and cut me off.

I will apologize, these pictures dont look that blurry on my phone screen. Ill try to stand a little more still for the rest of them.
