1927 Indian, we did all the sheetmetal work to, it was very very rough to start with. It's show quality now.
Gastank installed in the frame someone else had painted the fenders, and they did not fit the motorcycle, this is the the rear fender before I fit it, and sandblasted off someone elses paint.
The bike mocked up, including the tool box and battery box, when I got it, the battery box could not be installed because the fender was so far forward it did not fit.
left side of bike mocked up if everything isn't fit and bolted up tight before paint is applied, you can be sure the paint will be scratched. This takes more time, but saves headaches and scratches for the final assembly.
Another shot in progress there is a quarter inch between the battery box and the fender, even new, these were very tight fits.
Frame ready for paint.
Frame painted red.

Darrel rolling hos 1927 chief out of its trailer At Oley April 2007 nice muddy field for a fresh shiney bike.
Darrel Cutter with his freshly done 1927 big chief pre-war Indian red. A stunning machine. Darrel spent quite a bit of time on this project.
left side of the 1927 chief I'm not an Indian enthusiast, but if you park this next to a 1927 JD Harley, it's not hard to see why Indian outsold Harley. These bikes are strong running and spectacular looking.
