Today is front end assembly day and now you get a good look from the front. I mounted the antique style horn on the frame and you can see it gives it a touch of chrome when seeing her from the front.The driving lights are black with chrome rings and signals are chrome as well to add to the look.The fender tip and lower rear pieces are powdered black and I left the fender spears stainless steel to give it a little touch of shine on the fender.

With the motor pretty well done now I like the look. Lots of black but with accents to offset the look. Added one of Sean's custom solid brass point covers for some contrast and had the pushrod tubes powdered black and left the small pieces in the middle chrome for something a little different.

Time for some wiring now.

Starting to look like something now!!

More to come soon.....
