ROADPIG meet the world! She looks a little better/worse with the stock tank and seat on her depending on your tastes. But once you get the overcoat off, and the cute little black dress off, and she's standing before you in nothing but the skimpiest of little lacy things, you can see her lines. And I think for what I had in mind, these lines will do just fine. The whole point of this post was to bring you a December Update. And here it is...
December Update: Nothing! Oh I've cranked her a few more times, run her through the gears up and down, but really... Nothing. At least visible. I have however started compiling a Parts/Source list, and I think I have pretty much plotted and planned where each and every single part, spoke and nut & bolt will come from. And I have even started a hidden slush fund (coffee cup on top shelf) where I toss my left over monies at the end of the day. It ain't much, but it grows daily. As soon as I get enough money in the slush cup to completely order a part, pay for the shipping, etc., then I will. And the pile-o-parts will slowly grow over the weeks and months of the winter. And just before Spring 2011, there will be a furry of noise, sparks and paint spray in the garage as Project ROADPIG roars to life.
So as the parts arrive, I'll post pictures of them here and discuss their intended usages and then I'll cover the actual build as she goes under the knife.
