Unfinished Projects 2012 ~ SF Moto and Bay Area Vintage Riders dot com

What I think I like about the way I set up this blog is that I don't have to say anything. Just post some pictures. I know it's been awhile, but hey, it's been a while and I've been kinda busy. So to make up for it, here's all I got last night at the SF Moto's Unfinished Projects show. Now, I did take a pic of a cool ass '29 JD, but I had to get blockers to hold me a spot on the floor just for that. It was packed inside that place! I got a shot of a killer sculpture in the door way on the way out but mostly I got stuff from outside.... well hell.... I will stop tellin ya and just post it. Later.

Look What I Just Picked Up

Hell Yeah. I'm all over this project!

Ok, my ObIron friends and visitors. I have been watching as everyone (meaning the guys) around me keeps putting work into stuff they can ride to events like Born Free and our local gigs. I can't do the stripped down chopper thing because, well, I'm a girl (whoa, really? surprise, surprise, surprise) and I have "stuff" to carry. No, we're not talking a purse and lipstick or spare undies... we're talking, like, tripod, camera, lenses and gear to make beautiful pictures of your ~~rusty old shit~~ obsolete iron of beauty. I am not riding my bagger to these events because I don't need the heartache from ya'all and the chase truck is getting kind of old hat.

How fuck'n cool is this?

Well, I am hoping that is going to change as of today. I just picked up a servicar frame and tranny. I have a motor already and ~~most~~ some of the stuff to make it all work. Here's the beginning of what I ~~know will be lots of work, money and elbow grease~~ hope will be a long and beautiful friendship....

eBay and Craig's List ...here I come! I really hope to break some nails, bust some knuckles, get grease on my face and be as involved as I can in this build, so suck it up, boys. Send me your thoughts, I can delete them if I don't like what I read, send me your hook-ups for parts I may need - and keep watching to see how I do.
