    Yea, took ALOT of dent pulling to get it to a point where I could put less than 2mm of filler in a very narrow band where the hard crease was. I don't like using more than 1/8" or 2mm of filler anywhere

    Wow, they look great. Nice work!
    Is this a business, or a hobby?

    Incredible work. Especially seeing what you started with--I have no idea how you even do that. I see you've vid-documented it--I'll have to check that out.

    Im down to 15 with no intention of going higher ( note the word "intention"). I was at 22 and managed to down size. I'd like to get to 12 if I'm honest, there are only a few more bikes I'd like to find and a few I'd consider selling on to make room

    We had 13 and we are staying with 4 or less. I hope to get to 3 in total. They make me feel guilty rather than happy when I look around the garage. We are at 6 currently. 1 of which is my son's bike. Took the NSR out yesterday, she is staying. lol

    I have one last major resto mod to move on. I am sending you all of my parts to spray Stray!! :) Custom graphics included. shhh top secret!
