    If you still have all of the oem hardware, do yourself a favor and clean every piece with a wire wheel and have them replated. This is a beautiful build that deserves nothing but the oem hardware. Its the little details that seperate a great build from a good one.

    Actually I am already working on that. I've started to gather them all up and have contacted a guy that replates. Originally I thought the stainless kit would look good, but I have so much into this now I have to give it what it deserves. I have thought of getting all new (what I can anyway) OEM from Honda but I think that may take away also. I think it would be better to have the ORIGINAL hardware?? Thoughts?

    Amazing work! I totally understand displaying it when you're done, after all, how many people get to do that with something that was their childhood dream? But, I wouldn't be surprised if after looking at it for a while, you get the itch...

    Everything so far is over the top! Love it! Great job. I just finished an 87 200x with this same level of detail.

    awsome to see right there!! Have no idea why someone would suggest riding something with parts that are utterly becomeing irreplaceable! I would build an office just to put it in! The world is seeing it, hence the thread!!

    This has got to be one of the most awesome restorations I've seen in a long time. So jealous.
