Yo mang, I was wondering what happened to you. I guess you've been having too much fun to post. The bike look's great, I only hope I can do such work. I figured $1,000.00 would get me up and running and I was saving cash when I was approached with an offer I couldn't refuse. A 1942 Colt 1911 in 95% finish. I had to do it, for military firearms are what I live and breath..
never mind the bikes lets see a pic of the Colt
I used to collect them too before they were banned in the UK back in 1997
I had a nice early 1911 Commercial Colt 1911 which a 'gun specialist' managed to chew up in his vice when deactivating it
