78 SS Resto
I had this '78 SS sitting in the back of the shed for a few years now and the time is nigh. Here is a few pics of the bike when I first bought [img]http:[img]http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv16 ... ms77ss.jpg[/img]//i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv166/Kymbos/bikes3006.jpg[/IMG][img]http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv16 ... itled1.jpg[/img]untitled.jpg[/IMG]

Martin, Not sure if the headlight is meant to be black,there has a lot of chrome on this bike at present and I'm not 100% sure what is or not right.The plan is to get it close to original so most of the chrome will be removed.Someone did spend a lot of time/money chromeing/ polishing eveyrthing on the bike and yeah it was hip in the '80s but it doesn't dig me.It took me 3 months trying to come to terms with the paint job before I bought it.
