Title: JMC Black Shadow.
Post by: Macmania on July 28, 2010, 02:25 PM
Picked this Frame and Forks up a few months ago off Martylaa. It had been abused quite badly but thanks to the skills of Sawzall and SBD it was restored back to it's original state - great job guys  :4_17_5:  Some of you may remember the first three pictures from Marty's original resto thread. Wanted to keep this build simple and classy by just going with chrome and black.

Anyway..........here she is now, fully built up and looking super sweet imo  :smitten: Hope you like her  :)
