- those guys are down the street from me (san jose vespa). They are good guys.

I hope so, 'cause they've got my tank and fender now!  Wink
I chatted with Rob (?) on the phone a couple times. Agree, he's a nice guy, very tolerant of me giving him the seventh degree over the phone.

Just hand me a shovel, there's no limit to how deep I could go....

I think flames and chrome and Louis Vitton seats and the like are best left to heavily customized, metal tank, V-twins...

i would trust a harley paint and body shop ... after all, if their work is sub-standard, i am pretty sure their typical customer shoots and/or stabs first, then files a complaint with the BBB  Cool

Update!

Nichols just called me this morning to tell me that Old School Customs is now saying they can't pull the dent on the tank.

Something about the metal is too thin we can't do it blah blah blah blah....

<sigh>

Bobby Keith is "booked."

Who else does tanks?

Norman Engineering in Oakland does the leaky tank repair but might give them a call if they do the dent repair.
