Title: CW Cali Boulevard Resto - I've got a couple of pics finally for ya!!!!
Post by: Jamroll on July 15, 2011, 12:50 PM

So This has been a real labour of love on which is essentially not a high end bike but, i had to see it through, sacrifices have been made on the build (temporary) in the way of the cranks (just don't have money for 401's at the moment) to get the frame as i imagined it  :smitten:
Thanks to all those who have given me word of encouragement and stopped me putting the thing in the skip when it turned bad  :daumenhoch:
I think the chrome and powder have cost me more than everything else on it combined but it's almost there. Just waiting on pedals back form SBD, Bar ends and i stil need to dye the front spinner pegs  :crazy2:
I was trying to hold back on the pics until finished but I'm desperate to show it so here is a coupleof pics for you to see how its coming along.
Me...would i go through it all again....now that I've found the right peeps to do the work i guess the answer is yes i would, don't know if SBD would though  >:D
I'm well happy with this girl and she be a keeper for sure. I'll get some more pics when the sun is shining and shes finished because the colour is just ridiculous  :shocked:
Thx all
Al

Next build....not sure at the moment mate, may have to just let the dust settle for bit.
I really fancy doing a Peregrine Expert or B1 or I may redo my beat in this over chrome  >:D http://www.roseyspowdercoating.com/candy-transparent/candy-orange-120-gloss-1-lb.html
