Looking good Jim! And you're still ahead of me. I've had the paint for two years but it's still not any closer to actually going on my frame :D

I don't get it...

The last color it was wasn't good enough?

You changed your mind from brown to yellow?

Your brown looked good, but this yellow does look nice...

Yes, I keep my old yard signs... 8)

Brown, is that a color??? It wasn't brown, it was RUST on chromoly tubes... :lol: :lol: :lol:
If you go to Pismo or Oregon to ride expect to get some RUST... :wink:

Nothing like my old Hobie skateboard for a dolly, it came out of the trailer with it... :D

The frame is my 2001 built Extreme Performance. The day I picked it up the first and "new" double throwdown frame came back from powdercoating (green) and was displayed at the SSSS that year.

Time is running out for sure, I have just started to run my wires in the frame. I get the trans back next week and should have everything I need to bolt it back together again... :P

Picture this YELLOW...

Well, if you don't get it back together in time, you can always borrow mine. Its all back together, turns out I had spun the right rear hub. The splines fell out when I pulled it off :shock:

Fortunately, I didn't pull EVERYTHING, but I did dig deeper into the left side, thinking that was it, when it was actually the right hub. Cost me about $60 altogether :mrgreen:
