Absolutely beautiful! I'm amazed how much the fuel tank looks like my 1967 Kawasaki A7! Wish mine was as nice however. Great work.

Re: Getting close to the end.....
Mine came off an original Cobra, if you look closely, the pics at OZbook show them curving downwards toward the end, mine curves up quite a bit, so it may have been bent at some time. Not going to try and straighten it now.johnakay wrote:just that I've not seen one that high up?

Re: Getting close to the end.....
Well, I am finally finished, was waiting for the tank badges and a seat cover which finally showed up on Dec 24th. Here it is, will have to wait until spring to go for a ride. Now onto the next project, a 1970 T500. Thanks for all the comments. It has been a 3 year labour of love.
Cheers.....Fred

Re: Getting close to the end.....
We need a video of it running!!!! These days it is all about multi-media, not just pics. I love Youtube! That is fantastic work, wish I could do as well with my GT500.
