Post by RetrospectKustoms Mon 07 May 2012, 9:48 am

hey all, this one I threw together a while ago, based on the Harley Davidson kit. Built as a kerbside (engine detail sucked!) Dechromed bumpers & grille. Steelies & Redwalls, wanted a kinda ol' skool look.
Hopefully inspires some of you for the current GAS. Enjoy.

Nice build, it looks great in those two colours. When you de-chromed the grill and bumpers you made the right choice.

Looks the goods Retro. Very old school. I especially like the deep dish steelies.

I am building one of these for the GAS so I am happy that I have decided to change the motor because I had the same opinion with the kit one.

I wont be using the kit bumpers either after seeing them fitted, I dont think they are going to suit the theme.
