That came out amazing ... top work by all involved

But ... why the freestyle tyres? Are you riding those tyres too? seems an awful shame to ruin them

Hi Terry. Good question. I wanted to do something a bit different than putting the usual chunky comp 3 style tyres on. My idea was to build it up as a stadium/indoor racer using Comp ST (Stadium) tyres (before they became known as freestyle only tyres). I bought a set of the new Panaracer freestyle tyres, and also a set of the kenda K55's (old style Panaracer tread) and was going to use either of those, but after speaking to Ant factory pilot it seemed a shame to put repro tyres on. The plan is to ride it with with the ST's, but I got a puncture last week on the London ride, so i'll see how it goes. If I don't think they'll stand up to riding, i'll probabaly put the Kendas on

Thanks Terry, but i'll stick with the Pro Neck (Hutch) for now. I am after a Hutch layback though. Do you have one for sale?

WOW!

Takes me right back to staring longingly at these at Hot Wheels!

I keep coming back to look at this . It's a real stunner

Young Padwan, the force is strong with you

Nicely done Andy. I'm not a great fan of Voris' creations normally, but that is a labour of love and definitely has "soul"

Spectacular. Stunning. Sensational. Slick. Splendid. Sublime. Superb.

Lush.

Amazing Andy, was reading a thread about survivor vs restore somewhere today. This deffo falls into the needing a restoration category unlike some stuff we see. Luckily it ended up with someone willing to give it the full works,even returning it to it's creator to be repaired. Then you sorted a top notch chrome job & beautiful parts to nail on, you should be very proud of what you have achieved with this Andy, it's a glorious looking machine. Just needs a frame stander & stunt pegs to finish
