47' Spitfire Motormodel

[GoofyBike]

I have been getting this one ready for Portland in July. But two years ago we made a 3/4 scale replica for my 12 year old son.

The plan is to make a full size 26" version for myself.

The wheels are done and ready to go.

Frame fenders and rack are painted but still need wet sanded and polished. The forks need the three accent stripes, and the chain guard needs its stripes added.

Everything else is plated and waiting to be installed.

AWESOME, work may I ask what type of blue paint was used ? I have a a Spitfire myself & love that color.

When we got the paint matched up the code came out to be Pepsi blue, but the blue was to bright so we kept adding black to it drop by drop until we got the rigjht tint

Wow, beautiful work! Can't wait to see it finished! It looks like you don't have a Bi-Lite set for it... If your looking for one, I've got one for sale.

I have a couple bi-lite sets but this is a simple H model with painted rims and little chrome
