Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
Thats sweet! I've got a '09 R6 that I love. I'm going to be looking for the new R1S once i'm sure they've got the transmission sorted out.
Man i'm suprised you get work on the truck done between having to travel for work and setting up the bike for races, thats a lot of time! Very cool thanks for sharing! |

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
What method did you use to shorten the bumper so you didn't mark the chrome?

I cut the bumper with a normal angle grinder, I Will re-Chrome everything later when the truck is almost finisht, the Chrome still looks good now, you can not see that I did it with a grinder.
