I really need to sew up a couple of projects.  Too many things to do.  Business classes are going great, lots of homework.  Business plan coming together, but less time for painting and drawing.  Although I am going to remedy that in the next few days.  And then there is the car, She is coming along too, just need some nice days so I can get out and work on her.

well, I really need to post one piece at a time not this dump 3 or 4 at a time.  I am running out of  stuff to post.  I do have more to show just have to get it ready.  More soon.

ok here are the first of the pictures from the weekend.  First, Saturday Jessica and I went to the Road Devils Car show,  I sold one painting and Striped a truck and a bike.  not bad for my first show and first time working on someones ride.  Later after the show we followed some new friends back to their garage and i did 4 more bikes.  Wow what a night.  Pictures.

Yesterday I started on the floor boards.  This is my first attempt at metal massaging.  The floor before and after.  I also got my glass fuel filter installed.

So the last two days have been spent fighting with my alternator and bracket.

It finally fits!

Day Six of Build- Well I started on installing the alternator, and had to make a bracket.  I thought I had it all figured out, but no.  Gotta make another one for the bottom.  But here is a pic of the top bracket.  I also got the fuel tank clean and ready to install.

Day Four of Build.  Today I got the oil changed out started cleaning the gas tank and changed a valve stem.  I also had a visor donated and perhaps some wheels.
