All stock 83 aspencade parts, started with making fillers for the lights on the bags, cut the center louver out of the shark grills to make fillers, the long pieces left over from the shark grills, looked long enuff to make up sort of radiator wings, once i had them cut to fit down the sides of the rad, there was a nice little swoop at the bottom. started thinkin how i could trim that to look right and i looked around at other leftover pieces from the original tear down. Still had the trunk, and the back of the trunk looked like it may be close if inverted, so out came the cut off wheel, turned the piece from the trunk inside out, sized it up, a little heat to get the curve to match, glued and riveted, little filling, lot of sanding and couple hours later had me a chin spoiler, colour matched and presto,

Re: Martian...im back.made a few changes
Oh, and i did work the wing grill into it also, but the studs they have to hold grill and on sides of rad, are they ever short
Oh and the glue i used to hold my pastics together, do filling and so on, that huge 6inch hole in the right side lid i filled last year, still holding up great, no cracks

Re: Martian...another Alberta winter
So far took the checkmate off the faux tank. Painted side covers red. And modified the goldwing emblems
Pulled the exhaust. Wet sand and got all the rust off
