Default 84 VT500 "bobber" Project

Here is my project thread. Here is a thread that has pics of my engine. I will update this thread as I get things done. This maybe a slow thread but I did not want to start a new thread for each part. I dont have much done yet, I had to wait til I fixed the rust hole in the frame and not a lot of time. All that is done it the engine and radiator cover.

some of the parts It's Christmas in February

radiator cover, still needs some sanding

thanks working on it slowly have to figure out how im going to re-coat the frame. I'm wondering if the plasti dip would work for it, if not I have to paint it. There is not anyone around me that will powder coat. any ideas?

if you plan on painting the tank, maybe some "how to " pics? that would be awesome.

Really, small world. I think I going to rattle can it as well, I'm just lazy and don't want to do the prep to the frame. In guess I will have to do a little work and not be so lazy
:p
