Classic Motorcycle Gallery
When you entrust your motorcycle to us, we keep you in the loop from start to finish with photographs of each stage of the process. We'll send you status reports and photos by email so you can see the transformation as it happens. Whether your classic bike requires major refurbishment, welding, and rust repair; a face lift to return it to factory condition; or just a change of color or restoration for faded paint, we can get it back to you looking like it just rolled off the factory floor.

THESE PARTS CAME TO US VIA LEE IN SOUTH CAROLINA. LEE HAS A NUMBER OF BIKES AND HAS GOT SOME SHODDY WORKMANSHIP ON SEVERAL OF HIS BIKES BY OTHER PAINTSHOPS AND RESTORERS. LEE WANTED THE COLOR TO BE RIGHT ON SO HE BOUGHT A SIDE PANEL FROM JAPAN FOR A COLOR REFERENCE.(FOREGROUND) I THINK WE MATCHED IT. WHAT DO YOU THINK LEE?

These parts came to us from Don H. in Trussville, Alabama. The inside of the tank was cleaned and blasted and sealed with a clear epoxy. The outside was painted to match the factory scheme. The cap was chromed and looks new again. Don said he was ready for these parts because it's getting warm in Alabama.

After a lengthy process of cutting off the sides of the tank and getting them chromed, they were tig welded back on and finished off to look like the original tank. The inside was then sealed with a clear epoxy sealer. The tank is owned by Bob C. of California. We hope he likes it.

This tank came to us in very bad condition. The chrome was rusted and pitted and the paint dull and rusty looking. Check out the after picture.

The 1962 Harley Davidson Scat was a hybrid model motorcycle designed both for on-road and off-road riding. Introduced in 1962 along with the Pacer and the Ranger, the Scat's pacer-inspired design incorporated the Pacer's 175cc B-model engine in place of Harley Davidson's 165cc Super-10. To increase its flexibility, the Scat had street-legal off-road tires, softer springs, and high handlebars. The Scat also incorporated a higher front fender than the Ranger and had a scrambler-style higher mounted exhaust. The Scat offered the Ranger's extra-low final-drive ratio as an option. All around, the 1962 Harlely Davidson Scat was a great-looking bike designed to suit a mix of requirements.
This particular 1962 Harley Davidson Scat was sent to us by an old customer from Donie, Texas. It came to us looking pretty bad, but we gave it a new lease on life.

This is the finished tank. After a few months of touch and go with this project we have a finished product and a happy customer. The tank not only looks good it doesn't leak either. Not bad for a 75 year old.

These parts were sent to us by Brad A. of Bellville, Ohio. We met Brad at a trade show and he liked our work. Now he can enjoy it first hand. The parts are done in Olympic flame and silver sheen.

These parts were sent to us by Brian R. an attorney out of Virginia. The fiberglass tank did not leak when we got it. This is a very rare one. We stripped the entire tank inside and out and sealed it with our clear epoxy sealer. The tank will for sure not leak for many years to come. Brian wanted the more simple looking paint scheme for 71. All logos and stripes were painted on and cleared over.

This tank came to us from Mike W. in Texas who works for Homeland Security. We almost didn't get paid because he didn't trust us. We are now working on his Manx Norton tank.

This job was a little challenging. The owner wanted the flake and color to be as close to factory as possible. We did it. The logos are sprayed on and clearcoated. The sun is what will make this job look radiant.

This peice came to us in bad shape. We refurbished it and the owner is happy enough to send us his Laverda parts. I guess we did ok.

This tank was sent to us by Bill V. of Avon Indiana. This is a very difficult paint job since it involved using four different colors to get the effect the factory got. I think we got it because Bill was very happy.
