Commando

I made a little progress on the Norton over the last couple of days.  I had to replace the fiberglass gas tank.  I found this original steel Roadster tank with original paint that looks very good.  It is hard to find original tanks and I was not content to settle for a repro tank from India, just not quite good enough.

I also had to replace the fenders, the original pieces were straight but the chrome was bad so I replaced them with polished stainless.  It is coming together, I just need to address the side covers now.
