Thanks OND! So far, everything pictures really well...it's actually not as nice in person. But I build all my bikes to ride, and they all have rattle can paint jobs. There's some bikes on this forum that are painted so nice I would be afraid to sit on them. Maybe one day I can reach that level of build quality.
I hate that term rat rod growing up, a rat was a snitch, then

I totally agree with you. Being involved with the car show scene, I hear the term "rat rod" thrown around all the time... and it's usually describing something that isn't a rat rod. In my opinion, rat rods are crap that people with no skills throw together with junkyard parts to get attention. That's a beautiful ride you got there by the way.
Thanks for the compliments! I don't know how the tec is gonna run, I hope it has enough guts to pull the bike around. I got the engine off a thunderbird that we predator swapped, and it ran good at the time it just had a well worn clutch. I just performed a good cleaning on the engine and shot a little rattle can paint job on it and called it good. With the gear ratio it has, I'm thinking it will be alright
