Damn Martin - great looking as usual. You and your dad need to quit your day jobs and work on cruisers. :) very nice.
 
Thanks guys, i certainly wish that was true. Ive got so much to do still. Getting close for sure though. Headed home this weekend to build my front fenders.

I was able to help support my buddy Sam Winget in his offroad race in Mountain City two weekends ago and had a blast!!!!! He finished 2nd overall due to default against 5 total competitiors. We ended our run once we centered a tree at ~30mph. Ouch! we had completed the second most portion of the race and was awarded 2nd, and the hardest impact/longest get it off the trail award! haha The Event was ECORS(east coast offroad racing series) that had Snap-On sponsorship and others. Enjoy the pics.... ECORS pictures from outdoors photos on webshots

Yea, but did we decide which ones were which? They are close to the same. I dont have any records of that purchase 2 years ago so idk. Ill bring them both back no problem.
 
those are some sweet pics, I bet it was a blast, hurry up and finish that truck so we can get and and make some runs, I know Ramon is ready.
 
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.









 
Since my original fenders were all bent up from my wreck i had no problem cutting them so i could use the inner fender liner to close off the engine bay. I know mtweller did this and it turned out really nice and professional looking, so i copied that design. The most difficult part of this build was the the sheet metal skins. Ive only done the drivers side so maybe the passenger will treat me better.







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