    Excellent job!
    Can you share more/bigger pictures?
    Where is the battery hiding? The tail?

          Nicest L I've seen to date...I love how the red rims and other trim ties the bike together.

          I assume this is not your first project.

                "Senior Member" doesn't mean much. It just means I ask a lot of questions.

                The thing that sticks out about your project, at least from the angle of the pic you've posted, is that you obviously put much thought into it as a complete picture. I'm also a bit of a nut for WWII aircraft, so the Zero resonates with me.

                Your next project will have to be a Hellcat

                  Nice work! Looks great

                  Now get into the Projects/Rebuilds forum and stick a post up with lots of pictures and details so we can all see what you've done in great detail

                          That is a beautiful bike.
                          It is truly amazing what some guys can do with an old bike.

                            This is gorgeous. LOVE the red frame. And you say it's your first? Kudos, man.

                              I am still waiting to see other pictures besides the one and only from the right rear.
                              Let's see ALL of that fine ride! Please!
