M/C Plaque finished
« on: August 26, 2012, 02:48:07 am »
Well I got it done, I would do several things differently next time.
Like not getting in a hurry to finish it, and waiting for the stores to open on Monday
so I could get the right paint.  :D
All in all it didn't come out too bad, at least I didn't screw up the cutting part It's out of BB 1/4" Plywood
and the backer is 1/4" Masonite salvaged from a display thrown in the dumpster at the lumber yard.
I hope my stepson likes it.
I won't tell you how much time was spent finding the right image, and then modifying it to suit my purposes. A bunch!
"Doc" rides a 200 + HP Suzuki crotch rocket hence the name and the rocket. He and his brother came to visit
last month and he rode his bike down from Washington. It is one gnarly sounding mo-chine.  ;D ;D
