New build. Mabe the wrong area for this?

Hey all. Sitting here taking a break from some work and decided to give this a try. Here's a few pics of my latest build. Kinda going for a Boardtrack/Bobber look. Had Tigman do up a frame and been making and gathering parts for a few months now. Planning on going with a Leafer style front end.

If you do as good of a job building the tanks as you did making the plans I think you will be fine. I like it.

Thanks much.. They are coming along ok, Waiting on the rescessed brackets to show before I do much more with them. Olddaze let me borrow a portable air tank to check for leakers before I seal them.

Yes he does do nice work. Kind of a shame I'm using a MIG on it.. His TIG welds are beautiful. ( If you can consider a weld beautiful),
Hope to have the Leafer by the first part of the new year and have this thing ready for paint by Feb. or March. The whole bike will be painted the same color as rear rim. Tanks will have a simple gold pin stripe along with this logo on the sides.
