Crocodile's Build Bike Part Three

Ok, folks we are now up to present day with the build, here is what I have been doing on her the past 2 days!

I have started to get the sheet metal ready for paint, but first I shall mold the frame etc. and give her some really nice clean lines!

I'm throwing in some extra's and here they are!
Anybody need a little skull?

See-ya all in the funny paper's!

Croc......those skulls are killa... !! You make them from Bondo and a mold??

I also notice you're running a 6-pot caliper on the front. Hows that feel? I'm thinking about going to one on my bike and making a 1/4" adaptor plate to hang it on.

Looking mighty fine there Croc. Thought about putting my build up but you fuggers would eat my ass alive. Ya it's a V-twin but no it ain't a HD (read cheaper). Still love the pics of you work area Croc.

Did a little cheating today like I said a month ago, went ta da store and got a couple of cans of Flat Black spray paint and some el cheapo primer....:crazy and off I went on painting the build to see what it looks like in a flat black....Wat ya thimk, flat or gloss? Did the skulls in bone and tried to air brush em....:laughout....OK, y'all now know my weakest point, I suck at air brushing! :wtf

The first two skull pictures was 1st attempt, last 2 well after 3 try's!
