Glendora Duane’s two-tone P-51!

Yep, it’s our latest custom, and it’s awesome!   Wow, the factory has sure been creating some magnificent custom bikes in the last couple of months!   I can barely keep up with the flow of custom California Scooters, and Glendora Duane’s P-51 is yet another example.    Take a look at Lupe putting the final touches on Duane’s magnificent ride…

You know, that turquoise and white combination really works.  I believe it’s been around since 1954 when Chevy offered it on the ’55 Chevy (if you know different, please let me know).   It just screams class, and I love it.  

I just happened to be in the plant when the production folks were finishing Duane’s new motorcycle, and I was there when Steve, Lupe, and Andy rolled Duane’s bike off the fabrication stand.  (That’s Andy’s hands way off on the left side of the photo…Andy kind of got cut off in that photo…sorry about that, Andy.)   So, back to the bike…take a look at its wheels hitting the ground for the first time…awesome stuff, folks!

By the way, our fabrication stands (the yellow fixtures in the photos above) are based on the original fixtures used by the Mustang factory back in the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s.    Jim Cavanaugh (a great friend, one of our company’s advisors, and the Production Superintendent at the original Mustang Motor Products Corporation) helped design these fixtures.   It’s a good example of the staying power of a great design! 

Here’s a final photo of Glendora Duane’s nearly complete P-51…

Duane’s bike is just flat beautiful, and you can bet you’ll be seeing more of it here on the CSC blog.   Glendora is the next town over from our factory, and I’m looking forward to riding with Duane (along with Twin Peaks Steve, my good buddy Bruce, Bobber Bill, Nevada Howard, and all of our other CSC riding buddies) on the next company ride.   Speaking of which, keep March in mind, folks…it’s going to be our biggest ride yet, complete with a barbeque, RV camping, and more!  

We hope to see you there!
