Looks good Skip, you get a 10 for originality! Will you have her finished up in time to leave for MV?

If you remember, bring along that snake oil (that Flip peddles) you been haulin around for me. Ain't made it to OK since RAAIII to see you and Lonzol yet...

Skip,

That is truly an original. Where in the world did get the rockets?

 

[fastfreight]

I think there are a lot of 60's Oldsmobiles missing their hood ornaments.

No actually they're 1949 Ford hood ornaments.
I Like to have never got 3 of em.
and yes, it WILL be fully functional for MV.
Yea I looked at running the bottom two up along the bars,
but they looked like missles fixin to shoot down the rocket.
Thanks for the comments guys, real glad you like it,
still just about a tie on the chrome vs. the powdercoat,
but I'm leaning towards powdercoat.

Snuffy,
That "smokin like them little trains we had as kids" is a real novel idea.
I like it, I just can't figure out how to make it happen.
give me some time on that part.
In the meantime, my fender is getting paint TODAY, yea.
Can't wait for you guys to see it.
You'll have to wait till the next gathering to see the tank tho,
I will tell you this about the tank,
you'll see the "whole" thang,
and it'll be "lighter".
You guys ain't gonna believe it when I show it to ya.
It's definetly one off.
My wife just shakes her head , and mutters, "why, why me Lord", when I tell her what I'm gonna do.
you guys know why.
But it drives her crazy, shes been married to me forever so it ain't a very long drive anymore.
Britman,
Got em off ebay 1 at a time
searched "rocket hood ornaments"
watched for about 6 mos.

Skip, who twisted it? You do it yourself or have it done? I've got an iron works near by that I've thought about talking to for something similar..nothing as tall or grand as yours though. Great work, bro!
Did you bolt to the regular sissy bar mount/bracket?
