I dig that color, but you're the one that matters!

Only thing I'd do different is paint the headlamp bucket black. Otherwise, yeah, that's a nice color.

It's only dangerous when your gal misses a period........

Well, maybe....but misplacing it could be MORE worrisome, IMO.

Great stuff, Coyote. What's not to like about "Arrest Me" Red ???

Looks darn good, I wouldn't repaint it, I think it looks great.

Smokie, it's pretty hard to warp the bodies....but sometimes the little "seal line" (raised "thread") cast into the body flange can be eroded by corrosion and this will allow leakage no matter how tight you tighten the screws. Check the body flange with a magnifying glass under good light to make sure that the "thread" is continuous all the way round. If not, you may have to put some "grape jelly" Permatex Gasket Maker on the gasket before you are able to stop the leakage. I, personally, don't like to use any kind of sealant on float bowl gaskets, but sometimes there's no alternative.

I like it, but you already know that..... It doesn't need a repaint, Chris. Get used to it! I got used to "Pinky"...

Thanks, I will double check that ridge.Come to think of it,it did look pretty worn in spots but I thought nothing of it.My carb rubbers are going to be wore out by the time I get this sorted!

Like everyone else, I think it looks fabulous Chris!

But not just the red, the silver frame, black chambers and the overall proportions of the 550 rock.

I wonder if you might feel better about it if the stripe were also black, instead of silver?

Great work,

Dale
