I like the look of that. Still haven't decided on rack or not. I will try to mock one up first of the week to see if I can make it work.

I'm thinking i will go with the single brace. I have a plan for a rack if i can make everything fit. I also am planning on using a monark super deluxe chainguard when it arrives next week. I like the flow of those. Until then back to the front fender and seat mounting.

Color matching looking good. Really like where this is going.

Had the wrong bike. It's off a Gene Autry bicycle. I got my cowboys mixed up.

I finished up the rear fender today. It finished up it's time in the oa bath and got a coat of dead flat clear. I got the newly relocated brace drilled and attached. The inside of the fender had the same blue paint i stripped off the outside. Didn't want to break out the stripper again so i...

Found that out the hard way. You cant go back from there.

I picked these pieces of trim up at the most recent memory lane swap. The dealer told me they were off a boys 20 inch hopalong. I bought them for something else on a future project. He also told me good luck finding a set of the jewels that fit in the holes.

Good find on those fenders. I've had great results with the oa bath. Except that one time i left a tank in for about 8 hours to long. Didn't work out so well. Looking forward to how you remove that reflective tape.

Awesome detail work.

I really like the bare metal look with some clear over. I think this looks good as is. Flat clear always looks better to me.

I haven't tried the evaporated yet. It's sounds like some good stuff.

Slow rolling right now but i did manage to get a seat done this weekend. The leather is in perfect shape. The seat frame and springs were covered in flaking shiny black paint. I disassembled every thing and stripped off all the paint. After all night in a mild oxalic bath i sprayed it all down...

Man gotta get me one of those beugler tools. Wheels are looking good.

I have soaked other bare metal parts in the oa bath before and they usually just get a little grey tint. I was really surprised how these came out. Darker than expected, and I'm happy with it. Oxalic acid bath, not just for rust anymore.

I got a little progress made yesterday. I put the frame, tank, and fork assembly in the oxalic acid bath for about 8 hours. Brushing and flipping about every hour or so. I found in the past it will turn the metal darker and take out any shine. A good rinse and dry followed by a coat of dead flat...

Love the the look on these.

i never thought about that but its worth a mock up to see.

Thank you sir. I looked at the frame with fender on for about one beer before i broke out the drill. I need to age some fender rivit bolts, mount it and move on to the front.

I drilled the fender braces out of rear fender and repositioned the curved brace. Now it flows with the frame. I may trim a little off the fender end later after i mount it up with the tire on.

Dang it Bobby you beat me to the punch. I picked a full can of bronze powder last summer at a farm sale. I had the same idea of dusting it on a clear finish. You've inspired me to pull it out and use on another project i'm working on. I really like where you are taking this build.
