Photo courtesy of Vintage Dreams BlogspotRyan snapped this photo a couple weeks ago, when he came to pick up his finished-up VL frame, and custom oil tank I did for it. He was killing some time while I took care of a couple pinholes in his oil tank after I pressure tested it.
If you'll look closely, you can see a couple carry-overs from my old oxy/acetylene torch welding days - I still cut my filler rods in half, then bend one end of the filler rod over. That way I could tell which end of the rod I was using without lifting my hood to see. It's not necessary now with the auto-dark helmet, but I still do it. And, I still put my helmet on, then give it a "nod" down into position before I weld, even though I don't need to do that anymore, either. Old habits dye hard, my friends.

Rich the frame and oil bag etc are the collection of the nicest parts I've ever worked with thanks to you! I am getting it all together slowly over here. Thanks for everything.
