This bike, like many in this project, was reconditioned by Jake Hall of HCV (Hall’s Custom Vintage), and this bike is perfect. There was no effort on my part using Photoshop to make this bike look flawless. It is already. Moreover, this bike belongs to Scott who was kind enough to bring us many amazing bikes and, given the value of his time, it was much appreciated.

The gas tank shot (bottom) is a testimony to the intense amount of work that Eli Whipple and I put into photographing gas tanks and all the development that went into this lighting setup version.
