so i get a tank from a friend to get chromed......



and i wipe the sludge,dirt,and dust from it.
great....it has old chopper paint.
dammnit.
dillema.
bead blast and chrome,or hang on the wall?
it's not the "raddest" chopper paint,but i always feel like an angel cries, when i destroy something like this.

    i would be surprised if one of the chopcult collectors didn't want to snatch that thing up for a decent price...maybe swap another wassel for it. did you ask jason if he has any wassels laying around that he's not gonna use? i feel like he said something about a crusty wassell that needed a home...maybe??

    I do have a wassel that needs some love. I also have the one on my BSA. I would love to see this one on the BSA... Chico, there are a few too on ebay that are fair priced.
