Ford 450 with 22.5 Freightliner rims

This is my 450 with 22.5's I bought the rims from a wreaking yard, then took them and had them polished. The tires are 255/75/22.5 Sumitomos, They balanced out real good from the custom cut inner rim on the rears.
The truck still has the same lift of 5" that I had on there before. The truck stands only 1 1/2" taller.
The tires are all in the factory wheel wells so I didn't need fender flairs.
I have always wanted to do this to this truck and it turned out great.

New bike ,1973 CB750 Project Cafe Racer

This is the new Dunstall tank and seat, the frame is ready for the powder coating
I worked the frame over and removed the rear peg tubing and any extra bracket not needed on this bike.
This is the motor before I pulled it out
I had all the engine and hubs polished to a chrome finish
MJ trying out the new ride before the total rebuild. I have been looking for a clean 750 all summer and this is the one.
This bike needs a strip down from all the extras that are on it. The turn signals, mirrors and crash bars are for dorks. And needs to be heard more, she is to quiet.
As for the bike we found out it needs a clutch, I could not ride it when I bought it because it was raining. O'well I can fix that.
I replaced the handle bars with Clubman cafe bars. Also new grips and bar end mirrors.
I took off the stock exhaust and put on a 4 into 1, then cut down the front fender that will be painted black when I rebuild the rest. I took it to its top speed of 120 mph in fourth gear, I need it to pull fifth gear and I hope to see 130 mph. She is going to be an awesome steed.

New project for Alexis and Adam

Adam enjoying his new room he is 15 days old now
I brought this from Ghana for his room also two machetes that I welded together to make a wall mount.
I also framed these two oils that I bought in Accra Ghana from the artist.
A plasma cut out that I made for his room.
Adams room looks real good, it is an African theme.
Alexis's room was next,
Alexis loving her newly decorated room, a new make over just after Adam came home.
She was jealous of the plasma cut out that I did for Adam, so I made one for her the next day. She made me paint it cardinal red like here bed spread. We went to Home Depo together and picked out the paint.
She also got new pictures of dogs for her room, she really likes her dog.

Bike project Naked Goldwing 1000 Racer

This is the first day I had the bike, this is what it looked like before we transformed it to a racer. This was July19th of "08" just before we went to the Ute Stampede Rodeo. Jen was not that happy with what it looked like at this time. She said that I wasted my money.
Even Jerry took it for a ride that day, It ran great.

On my way to Levan with my new purchase. THIS BIKE IS SWEET I took it to 110 mph and I know she has more in her.

Jeremy was also checking out the new bike, soon to be a Cafe Racer
MJ helping with the tear down of the bike.

Not looking to good but we can see the potential of this bike. Jerry and I took it around the block and it goes good now we took off about 150 lbs. Jerry speed shifted it and brought the front wheel off the ground on his test run.
Jenn came over to see what we had done, I think she likes it. LOOK EN GOOD BABE!
Just after Jerry painted the tank and side panels.

Done for now. It rides good It has a new top speed of 130 mph and I still think it has more.
