Project! "Half & Half" UPDATED

[oldfart36]

Thought I would go ahead and post this now, because we are dangerously getting close to being done with this one!
Project! ""Half & Half". 1948 JC Higgins using a 40's Hawthorne front end. Front end, headlight, tank, bobbed rear fender (Elgin), and youth seat top (Colson large trike), will be sealed bare metal, while frame will be "let the layers of paint and metal show, then sealed" as we work on frame. Wheels will be bare metal as well.

Mock up before working frame.

Some of the bare metal parts almost ready to go.

Frame is ready for gloss clear coat now!

Just having fun with this one. While the bike was original red and white, it had it's repaints.

Was busy yesterday working on "Half & Half. Clear coating is done, and starting to put it together!

"Half & Half" is on the ground. Needs some minor tweeks. Was trying to get the rear of the chain guard as low as possible for the look, and went to low on the table. Easy fix, and chain, he be done!

The bike is done! Pulled the McCauley, and went this direction! I feel the bike has some great lines now!
