Bottrop Kustom Kulture Repo....

WOW, back from a busy weekend. Bottrop Kustom Kulture and Budel Bug event in one weekend. On top of that a shitload of rain (3cm water on my floorboards, gotta love a 50+ year old Ragtop, it's all good....
Finally, today I got some time to upload some digital evidence ;-)

Bottrop was wet, but SO cool. Let the photo's tell the story....

The Harley-D (pré)Endresult

The home stretch....final assembly has been completed...today: Pick-Up day!!

I cannot believe myself how good this thing turned out....

I also cannot believe how many hours went into this thing, 250+!!! but hey that's my problem right ;-)

Here some black-white pic's from last week, 95% of the bike done.....detailing and some minor paint left to do (headlight/risers etc.) ......

Ready for action.....

Bottrop Kustom Kulture....

Shot a nice detailphoto of the harley last week... build-up in progress......

The Harley-D (Build-Up!)

Finally, the moment I've been waiting for has arrived, the build-up of the Harley-D

I think the photo's pretty much speak for themselves....

The Harley-D (paint!)

It has been a bit hectic in the shop the last few weeks, loads of parts and tools flying around everywhere to get everything ready for paint.....this weekend the painted stuff came back from the paintshop in a shiny coat of black metallic. I'm stoked! Looks absolutely sick in comparison to the old situation.....The final build-up can begin!!
