Going with blue stripes over the fenders, with stars in them like the Drag Car had. I plan to stay close to stock on the bike, but just do a theme on it. Don't want to go Gah Gah on it, lol
 P.S. The Yellow looks better in person, its Daytona Yellow. |

So you want a Yellow super bee logo and i ship it to you and you ship me the helmet and we are even? Sounds like a great deal on my end!

Ron,
I love this idea! I grew up with the Snake VS. Mongoose Hot Wheels Drag Set. Actually have one in the box. Can't wait to see the final product.

Here is what I have done on the guard so far, kind of went a different direction with the colors than I had planned. Hope to finish it soon.

Ron, Now you need to do a Mongoose bike from an F5. Snake drove a Cuda and Mongoose drove a Duster.
