It's been several months since we first wrote about this '73 Chopper. It's taken this long to gather everything together. The shiny parts came back last week from the chrome shop. We worked with Allied Plating in Spokane and they sent everything up to Canada. Allied Plating stayed in contact with us, which was comforting since it took over three months. There was a lot to chrome, that's for sure. Service was excellent though, and the chrome looks great. 
The frame and gas tank were re-painted the original color several weeks ago by Scott Motorsports. The bike owner has a thing about chess and wanted us to re-produce the chess pieces on the side of the tank. We scanned the old decals and using Photoshop repaired the missing pixels. The Knight and Rook also go on matching helmets. 
Eric painted the '73 Honda CB -750 yesterday. We'll meet with the owner in the next few days and then start to put it back together. Check back.
