  1. Oh I have had a Philly cheesesteak and 19 years since I found out I was allergic to Dairy. Those are amazing. I miss the old steakums? I bet a lot of people don't even know what those are.

  2. I don't get it…you spent 3-4 days working on that spedometer ….you could have picked up an electronig spedometer ( with a whole bunch of features ) for about 30-40 dollars…. and it takes about half an hour to install….

  3. Nice!, but no RPM gauge? Always a must for me on any motor vehicle, as I gotta know what the engine is revving. But it's coming out very well, even if I couldn't stand that orange flake paint at first! Painted a old buddies blue many years ago, and it was very well received as it looked really nice.

  4. just did a how to shine metal to a chrome finish vid, using a motorcycle tank so i know the blood sweat and tears that went into that triple tree lol.   Brass fittings look good, was looking to get a few of the engine bolts coloured brass, but working out cost atm.   Do you have any experience with Chrome powder coatings? 

  5. I want to preface my next statement by saying that I really and truly do like the speedo housing. That thing is all kinds of awesome. That being said:

    Sometimes my thought process is just wrong. Talking about folks seeing the gaps in the bottom of your speedo housing you said "Tough Titties". My mind immediately went to "That's how he can cover the hole in the front end of that thing! Put a nipple on it!". So, yeah, my mind goes to strange places……… 

  6. For a second there I thought you might use an old distributor to hold the speedometer or something equally off the wall. Wasn't sure where you were headed, but that pineapple lamp idea is excellent.

  7. Looks great. Liking the approach you have at figuring out how to mod pieces to suit your needs/desire.

  8. that looks great, good idea, you must have lots of stuff around like I do, my neighbors are always coming over to get stuff from me, I have a hard time throwing things away, so I got stuff……….

  9. Front wheel and speedo look great! Your creativity is wonderful. I was really surprised you could get the pineapple tight enough in the band-saw vise without cracking it!

  10. Slick speedo housing from the hort & mod. Anything open on the bottom we always said nobody will see it but the ants and grasshoppers!
