I can remember painting this bike for Dale when he was still here in Mount Vernon. He said it was a very famous bike. Pretty cool to see it still in his collection. I probably paid 40 or 50 bikes. It’s probably still in there pretty cool. Miss you a lot rest in peace Dale

Dam it's been a hard few weeks when we do the insurance adjuster job well bigger part of them anyways we take the pictures send them to them. Write them our estimate looking at the car is someone usually 1000 miles away cut our estimates down by pictures then it probably never even turned the screwdriver let alone fix a wreck car used to be a very, very good business to be in, but it is getting tighter and tighter and some of your best insurance companies are the worst as in SF can't say their name I might get sued, but I don't have to work for them anymore. Your whole industry has changed since Covid. Just don't know if it's even worth it having your own shopping anymore so just trying to put the little guys out and we are the main ones with all the years experience don't understand it

This is one color, a pearl white and this is how many alterations DuPont has. I guess it’s from being painted in different factories. The only thing I can figure out, but if you get the chips, take it out in the sun you can almost nail it. But you better know what you’re doing.
