    This is the "chrome" that I use too. Have you ever noticed a metallic "dust" on your hands when you handle the part after it dries? I have clear coated it but that seems to dull it. Any advice?

    Moon Dust (I mean Crust)

    It is done for now. I hope to find some chrome bars some day. I ordered a pair of these caps from Moon Equipment. The chain wheel was so rusty that when I cleaned it up there was no chrome. I repainted the back black per the original and coated the front with clear. Had to get a new...

    Had to make a front fender. The owner lost the original. I used an old Huffy cruiser front fender to make a shorty, bobbed fender like the original. I used a Dremel cutoff wheel to make the slots for the mount. Rivets attached the mount and filled the old fender brace holes. My first attempt...

    Moon Dust (I mean Crust)

    Choosing bars. The original chrome GT moon bars were badly flaking. After an aluminum foil cleaning there wasn't much chrome left. Hit them with a flapped wheel and sprayed them black. I've seen several Mooneyes cruisers painted like that on the Net. Must be a common problem. I have one...

    Got an order in from Mooneyes, Santa Fe Springs, CA. I bet you can guess what was in that package :) I wish I could afford some moons discs.

    The frame with everything removed. Initial clean up of most of the components

    Moon Dust (I mean Crust)

    The as found condition of some of the components. I just not a fan of those wheels. Seems like they would be more at home on a low rider. The originals were 36 spoke (sometimes with Moon discs)
