Beautiful Body....

Well the black basecoat has been finished !!! Yay !! Jeff and I painted today for about an hour and the basecoat went on smooth. Tomorrow we are going to clearcoat, after I finsh painting Oogie boogie, Zero and Sally's cat. I can't wait...will make our deadline of the 1st of April so we can enter the show...I am SOOOOO glad !!!

Junk on the Trunk....

Well the trunk lid is complete....I don't think it came out too bad...for me being amateur at this whole painting thing. Saturday we start on the engine lid and then go to paint the whole machine when its done being "mudded". I am so pleased with the progress and I am still praying that I can make the deadline for the show in Rochester on the 19th of April. Hopefully we got ALOT done on Saturday because thats my last weekend to work with Jeff before the show....ugh..I am so nervous, but I know we will make it!!!!

It's ALIVE !!!!!!

Well at approximately 2:45 pm today the "Bone Daddy" came to life !!!! We started him up and boy does he sound good !!!! I even got to drive him around the yard!!! How awesome !!! Rob (as you can see) is ready to ride...she thinks she's gonna drive but she sadly is mistaken !!! I bought a new vest at the swap meet in Syracuse and Mom put a big patch of Jack on the back for me...it's HOT !!!

More to come soon....we enter the painting mode next...and I am so nervous !!!

Happy St. Patty's Day....

I figured I would wish all a Happy St. Patty's Day early because I will be working mad overtime during the holiday...( everyone knows that officers like their green beer and corned beef !!! ) Gabriel's favorite holiday besides Halloween is St. Patty's...so here he is...Gabriel O'Grady !!!!

This ones for you....

Hey this ones for all my faithful readers ... yes thats you Laura and Maria...I am posting up to date pictures of the trike...finally...

We've been so busy with holidays, birthdays and working overtime that posting has been put on the back burner so to speak...

Hope you enjoy the pics...this bad mother has to be done for the Skin and Steel Show in Rochester, NY on April 19th....so more pics to come soon !!!

Hey, look at my rear...big is beautiful !!

This is a dual post. First of all, today I celebrate my 2 year anniversary of my surgery....yay !!! No need to look at my rear...it is smaller though, which I am very grateful for. Now on to the trike....
Well we are definately moving along quickly!!! Yesterday we got the rear end all welded together...Jeff hates my design for the rear end, but I love it. He says it's "too bulky", I told him I just got alot of junk in the trunk !! I needed more "bulk" because I want to be able to carry enough stuff if we decide to drive a significate distance and need to stay somewhere, we will have clothes and supplies. With the addition of the trunk, it makes the bike 12ft. 9inches long. Pretty big, but big is beautiful.

Well off to the Dr.'s for my yearly checkup and then on to the garage to work on the trike !!!!

I can feel the wind already...

I can feel the wind blowing through my hair already !!! The progress on the trike is going so fast !!! We are WAY ahead of schedule...but that's not a bad thing !!! I am on vacation and devoting my afternoons to working on my "baby". Jeff is so talented and he is always coming up with new ways to do things!!! I am very anxious to get this done....weeeeeee !!!!!
