Very eye catching build. The red spokes and whitewalls really make it! Good job. Hope it sounds as good as it looks.

Sweet ride! Just enough on the red, polish, and chrome (although a shortie red front fender would work for me, too). I really like the polished rear differential. That must have taken a bit of work. Looks like a soon to be BOTM!

Thanks man. The rear was actually fun after i got going. I had zero small stuff, only an 8" buffer, and my hands.
