TRADITIONAL Quasi-Motobike : ..from the land of sky blue waters...pg 10

Great job on the 'coasters'! I just looked at the pics before watching the videos and wondered where you had found them. Of course, you made them, I should have guessed. The bike is looking great! Now I'm wondering what more ideas you may have swirling around in your head.

Thanks Pondo! I almost didn't put the pics in until today, but I know some people don't always watch the vids and I didn't have a 'final result' of my process in the video so I figured what the H. I'm pleased with how they turned out.

Most excellent work on the carrier. It's blending right in with the build nicely.

Thanks KF! I didn't want to 'RaT-up' the logos too much, trying for a well-preserved but aged look. Like it might have sat on an old bar shelf as a display it's whole life.

Here's a comparison of the before and after of the beer crate. I also RaT-ina'd the bottle opener, first sanding the bright surface, then dulling it with my vinegar / water spray, then a very light coat of flat black, rubbed back with a #0000 steel wool, and then dabbed some Satin Cinnamon and Satin Espresso paint on the leading edge and around the screw mounts.

Before any RaT-ification...

After ....
