Hey, nice work! I like the way you guys did the husky tank. Its kind of neat to see different paint schemes on vintage scoots and have considered doing one of my own on a MC5 I am restoring. Thanks for sharing the photos. T. Paul

That tank on the Husky is the true colors from the 74 and the *2 husky 125s. They were blended to make what you see. I think it looks too cool to ride. John Kovalcik really builds a nice scooter.
