Well since everyone else seems to be building one, I thought I should do one my way. ;D I looked threw the kit and liked everything in it, but not going to use anything but the body for this build.. Heres where I started, parts box frame precut for a fenderless rod. Can you guess what the lines are for? ;D ;D ;D ;D Now for the early mock-up. ;D The engine is still up in the air but it will be set back partially under the cowl. And just to let you know my fingers a sore from all that drilling with the pin-vice.. Later

Hey, I thought you said you weren't going to start any more for a while! ;D Since Lyle is building a shiny one, you gotta build the dirty one. Well, at least we got one of each for the table at the meetings! Dammit! Now I have to cut into mine next.....

Thanks for the comments guys. Well with me starting my 3rd work week with out a day off its a little hard to find time at the bench right now. But I did get little more work done... Here's the engine thats going in the deuce. Not sure what kits its from, anybody know? TIA Now its painted and ready for to be placed in the frame. Paint is the new Tester's Gold. And a quick mock up sitting on its own with the motor in it. As of now the frame is going to be white, and the body is going to be black. This is always subject to change ;D Later
