yes the Green Mamba was a jet dragster , watched it race a couple times back in the seventies...Its my avatar pic.

Oh such a beautifull deadly snake....reminds me of a couple women I know...how the heck am I going to pull off that paint?
Solid colors are tough enough sometimes hmmm, probably going to be the toughest part of this build for me.

Hey you must be a Bay Area boy , I grew up in Fremont and lived there 35 yrs ....I mis being a kid and sneaking
into the drags had a lot of good times there...all gone now its all industrial and car dealerships .

I have a few ideas kickin' around to incorporate a snake into the build but thats actually a small part in this theme as I want to add parts and
ideas that will give it the feel of the jet car itself.
I did try a different fork today ,not sure if I want to use it yet so I'll just stare at it for a few days and think about it and I am still hunting a few
of the correct parts I need ....I'll put up some pics later if I decide on the stuff I'm working on with parts I have on hand.

its winter I always put on a few pounds this time of year???? had to up the size on my work pants and I haven't even started
on a cake yet

since its St. Patties Day here's something with green on it...
 

just a little play with a paint can but I think the colors are close to whats on the car

yep pricey it is, especially for a bicycle I must be crazy to pay that for paint when a 5 dollar rattle can would do...the kustom Shop stuff
is a better price but the color looks off... a little to metalic.

Well I'm still not sure if I like it but I am going to run with it since I watch all the money in paint blowing away in the wind ...kind of bad conditions
painting in between rain storms outside with no cover or wind blocks....rushing it and trying to learn the airbrush is an experiance ya might say.
I'll start some assembly after work
