After looking at your interior, I’m starting to have second thoughts about painting it green, but then a steering wheel and a shifters and I think the dashboard are also chrome after as many years as I’ve had this thing hanging around, I’ll be happy just to see it put together tolerable I pretty like like the green and black paint job black tanks, black spokes, black breather
  16. I was wondering if you painted the mirrors and the brackets minor chrome I was thinking about painting them, but it seems like too much work there too skinny. I think I’ll just add them.Chrome
