Im ready greg! cruiser isnt.
UPDATE:
Started my Metal Tech tube fenders. This was FUN!!
It wasnt very hard. Getting started took the longest,seeing as how they're arent many directions(none). Once i figured out everything i dove right in...
Had to mount the hood and bolt on the aprons and everyhting to make sure panels were in they're final positions as to not have surprises later. I would suggest having somebody around for an extra set of hands. I had to use tons of wood blocks and anything else i could find.

Looking good Martin. I did mine by myself too, and will attest that an extra set of hands would have been invaluable.
