Powell 3867 d restore

Thanks guys for the comments. We are both very pleased with the Chrome Shop results also. Scott and Paul, y'all both have experience with having serious chroming, I was hoping y'all thought it came out nice. I think the shop did exactly what they told David they would do. We wanted it to look good from most all angles, they got it right.

My biggest problem now is " getting to ride it". I told David that we could place a small square of the footrest rubber on the brake pedal, like Scott did. He responded, " there's no need for that, I don't plan for there to be a foot on that pedal." I reminded him that this is the only brake, he just said " uh huh." I hope we can at least start it.

Why Forks

Not sure why we need "Forks", your not going to let me ride the dam_ thing anyway. It does look good brother. Can I ride the little E bike sitting in the back?

Thanks,
Jesse
