Well damn... I'm supposed to building a hot rod soon. But I was hangin' at my buddy's shop and this black bike just has me drooling. It has a 110 inch motor and a right hand drive that makes it balance oh so sweet... you can literally hold it up with one finger. The other pics are my son on one of my client's bikes (being built for his wife, actually) that's almost done.

I've been "stashing" money away for a few years and the pot's almost full enough to get started. I want to use a Brookville steel body, SoCal Speedshop rails and a small block Chevy. It will probably be a wide white-walled retro rat rod style rod... :unsure:

Just for a bit of inspiration for dutch:

A relative on my brother-in-law's side of the family built that monster. I dont have too many details, except it was built over an 8 year span and i think its pushing 600 hp. Up close its awesome and sounds evil even when its just idling. Its one scary machine :)
