64 Gasser

[Houndog]

Just for kicks..My RatRod roots...My dearly beloved old mismatched Slingerlands!!

 

[Houndog]

Got my dropback seatpost done,had to grind the seat frame for clearance....

Got some white grips...

Seeing what some apehangers look like for kicks...

 

[Houndog]

I need a cablestop for my shifter,anyone know where to get one??

Also I know my chain is loose,I need a halflink to make it work.
I just had to give it a spin,I have my old chain soaking in vinegar...


The reason I was trying out apehangers is an idea I have...
I plan on making a wheelie bar out of that pile of frames I have in a picture
earlier in this thread...

I'm thinking of making a place to put drop bars on the wheelie bar so I can
ride to the dragstrip in comfort...Then once there put the "go fast" drop bars on...

Kind of a run what ya brung thing.......Stupid?????

I like where this bike is going :!:

 

[Houndog]

Anyone have a skateboard truck and wheels they wanna get rid of?

I also need a cable stop for my shifter cable....


Also, thanks for the nice comments guys,I'm new to all this and having a great time getting to know you guys!!!

I'm having a blast!!!!

I think with the apes I need a front tire that matches the back......But then my whole Gasser bike theme would be gone...
Guess I could also mount my front race tire on the yet to be made wheelie bar along with the go fast drop bars....

My mind is going crazy!!!!!

Going crazy in a great way.
Nice build.

I went to the bicycle boneyard here in the city today and dug up a makeshift shifter cable stop..
I'm still on the hunt for a better one..
I've never rode a 3spd hub bike before...Pretty darn cool!!!!!

I found a bike with a cool old raised white letter skinny tire on it,but when I dug
it out it was just too far gone....The hunt continues for an era correct looking front tire...


Now I need to get to working on wheelie bar..Not for riding wheelies mind you..
It's for the drag bike effect...Also the reason I set the seat back,for more "hooking up" action....


Also saw an old Firestone bike with a cool springer on it,now to save my $ for it...

 

[MplsCoaster]

I'm liking the way you're putting it together. Great stance!

 

[Xcruiser]

Like your build man. A fellow drummer. My music room used to be crowded (or so I thought) then a couple months ago I started building bikes. Now I'm tripping over fenders (the bike kind) to get to my Fenders (the guitar kind). Life is good!

 

[Houndog]

Thanks for the nice comments guys..Means a lot to me,especially me being new to all this...
I do have a plan to use both sets of bars,I got some figuring to do...

Apestanger, i'm fortunate to have a music room and a small garage that my wife leaves alone.
She felt bad having her dresser repaint project in the garage this week..

 

[Houndog]

Ok,I got a matching front tire..This is for comfort mode,for riding to he strip..
Next up is wheelie bar/trailer idea I''m brewing up...
Gonna be awhile before next update..

 

[Houndog]

I lied about the no update for a while...

 

[Ape Stanger]

Man I love that shifter. What pedals are those?

 

[Jake Sensi]

NICE WORK. DIGGING IT ALL. GET TA BUILDIN!! Peace

 

[Houndog]

That number plate is a cool idea.

Thanks, I want to put more stickers on it,it's not easy finding the right size though...
Most for cars are too big..And I think the ones for models would be too small....

I really got lucky getting that shifter..The EBay listing said antique magna for the pedals...

Where did you find the number plate did you make it or buy it????
