    Thanks, Pete. I guess I should explain the Australian owner. He lives here in Spokane. For a number of years he owned an aluminum (racing) boat building business. The kind of boats you see racing in 3 feet of water around a tight coarse..crazy fast. He just sold the business, and is now in the process of returning home. The Ducati was a total bolt by bolt restoration. He's incredibly capable. The only part that he farmed out was the paint. He needed to get it appraised for it's return to Australia, and 50K was what it came to. As much as I'd like to say that I'm now doing work "internationaly", I can't....yet...
    Aaah I get ya. I've seen a bit of that racing on TV, yeah that's certainly different!

    That does explain why you're doing paint for an Australian

    If I win the lotto you can redo my 450 for me and get started on your international career

      Yeah, I looked it up also and found images similar to what you painted. I guess I only saw 900SS bikes from 1977 on

      And, I thought that the 1974 750SS was the only year they made that model

      You learn something new every day!
