2008 J And P Custom Panhead Project Motor Placed In Frame

(4.)Once all the covers were back on the motor, it was placed in the frame.







2008 J And P Custom Panhead Project Baker Transmission Installed

(5.)With the S&S Panhead in the frame, the Baker transmission and inner and outer primary drive assembly were bolted together.






2008 J And P Custom Panhead Project Underground Studios Logo Design

(6.)As the drivetrain was going together, Scott at Underground Studios got started with the oil bag first. It was the one thing Kody and Jeff needed sooner than the rest of the sheetmetal to keep the build moving on time. Scott was told that on one side of the oil bag he could work his shop logo (Underground Studios) into the paint.


2008 J And P Custom Panhead Project Number 9 Design

(7.)On the other side (right) of the tank, the number #9 was worked into the paint job. This will play out through the paint theme later. The number #0009 is the number on the S&S pan motor,the 9th museum bike giveaway, and the #9 just happens to be the number on the race bike on the photo seen for the ideas for the bike.



2008 J And P Custom Panhead Project Oil Bag Installed

(8.)As soon as the oil bag was painted, Scott delivered it to the J&P shop in the nick of time, because Kody needed the oil bag in place as the transmission and starter were in place. This would allow the build to keep moving as the rest of the paint was getting done.




2008 J And P Custom Panhead Project Bike Sketch

(9.)Back at the paint shop Scott was working on painting the sheetmetal and the logo for the gas tank. He started with a sketch he did of a board tracker bike, then he needed to work it into the National Motorcycle Museum's logo.
