    I decided to take some of the chrome parts from my beehive part lot, and transfer them to the all black fork I am running. When I took photos of my progress, the fork got lost in the big picture and didn’t show off its style. The chrome is still crusty rusty and has an equal patina to the fork...

    That tank and fork is a nice match in my opinion. You have great parts to choose from!

    That’s a great tip! Thank you @kingfish254 It will take some work to get the chain guard to fit, while the skirts do fit well. I’m not quite sure if they fit my vision just yet but fun to play around with.

    Today I got the tank roughly cut out of the 2x4. I think I may have just enough sculpture block to make the tank from. I still have to trim up the buck to slide through the tank housing, then I can add the foam and start sculpting something. I am going to play with the idea of adding pipes for a...

    I made a choice of tires I wanted to run. These aggressive looking Ralson nylon tires are 2.35 wide with a thick knobby. Going to need some heat from the sun to squeeze them on. Nylon is not very forgiving.

    The 5/8 post and sleeve were a close to snug fit. I slathered the JB weld on both the post and sleeve. Unless I try to do the twist while riding, I think it will hold up fine. ✌🏻 Hopefully I’ll get time this weekend to tackle the tank. It will be a drawn out process though. ✌🏻

    I accumulated a lot of parts through this week and I look forward to working out a few more issues over the weekend. I may have the most important piece of my beehive springer fork coming my way, through the help of a very Awesome forum member. I picked up a nice lot of bits and pieces which I...

    Ummm. Yeesssss! I do have a few of the top pieces. 😎 I had panned on an attempt to make one from a conduit box that has at least one of the bends I need to make it.

    Thank you! Some fork issues are stumping me at this point. But I think I can press on!✌🏻 Thank you @Pondo this was a build for my wife with an old bike of hers. But she fell in love with my build off bike “Hellion” and the Cranbrook went to parts.
