Meet the Mule Skinner

Noun
1.
mule skinner - a worker who drives mules

This describes the owner,my friend Ratpan to a tee.He built this little sporty to ride as a daily driver while combatting commuter traffic.He turned me loose with two requirments on the paint......HOK Candy rootbeer somewhere on it and no mexican shit.......Well I had seen a panhead he used to race back in the day and the name was called Mule Skinner so it had to be.

Enjoy the pics

I am really a fan of thre 50's and 60's custom painters.
They did the coolest stuff with pretty much junk paint and grinding glass and making thier own mixes.Its far to easy now days compared to the days gone by.

Always open to doing some one off work.Just let me know you can contact me thru the email listed here.

The Ride

Thats all its ever about.Going thru the folders and found a few pics from a couple years back.RandyD,Billy the Kid and me on the way to the Redneck Rumble in Tenn.Screw all the intraweb drama and the Keyboard badasses.Get out on the road and make them wheels turn.
