    Looks good.

    My parents live in Montrose. You don't know how close I was to buying the one you sold.

                Wow. That looks so good, I may in fact copy your scheme. Just amazing.

                    ..I wish I could've painted it for you Russ. I'll get back in it one of these days. I miss it. Seriously. I like the stripes, and the satin finish. Let me know how it works out a couple of months down the road. I'll be curious to see how hard/easy it is to keep nice.

                            Yeah. I could kill 2 birds, visit my parents (I live in Va.) and get a good deal on a project with a lot of the right parts.

                                Looking awesome Russ, the paint scheme is great!

                                I hear your frustration, sometimes things just never seem to go to plan... but all of a sudden it'll turn around and you won't know yourself for all the success you're having

                                    Bike's looking awesome Russ. You and Joe should do a Biker Buildoff thread.

                                        I would be sorely outmatched Ed. Joe is the only builder; my best tool is my wallet (which is mighty depleted right now!).

                                            Its all nuts and bolts and common sense. And a few shiny pieces

                                                Russ, i like the upsweep of the pipe.
                                                Hope it looks as good with the bodywork.

                                                        So finally, after almost 3 years the Cool Kat II project is finished (well almost; still a few cosmetic things to tidy up but she's a runner).

                                                        Using this as the inspiration:



                                                        We went from this:



                                                        To this:






                                                        I will get some better pics at the Harvest Classic hopefully. I head up there in about an hour. Bike just got finished last night around 8pm. Like I said still a few small cosmetic things to work out and I still need to find a set of mirrors I and get the turn signals put on. Simply ran out of time.
