Brother you are a Craftsman.

Nice work.

(Wood wise, have you ever tried any Pearl Inlays? I just to cut early "Gibson" pearl logo's for a guy in Japan. Some of your wood reminds me of guitar necks.)

"Much help" is right!!!! I logged about 500 hrs of welding, bending, drilling, wiring and cussing on that fucking bike. Stoked though, it turned out nice. I'd also like to say that ACME does make some great stuff, also I've been dealing with them lately on the phone regarding the info I need to make a special construction title, they've been a big help on that end too. Anyone out there thinking about doing a ground up build, keep ACME CHOPPERS in mind. Buy AMerican!!
