painted the frame. several times. :?
Found out that the almond that I had picked out has to be the top coat of any paint.

Because of running out of time for this show I actually changed the color scheme from that brown to primer red. I think that I like this a whole lot better.

painted the handle bars black. Took the sticker and attatched it to the head tube.

You can see in this pic the new fork color too.

Here lil pixie is at the Autorama.

As you can see there is still way more that I have to do.
The luggage rack I have to finish and the saddle bags to put on. You can also see since the pictures were taken of the new paint job that I did redo it.
If you look in the picture and the black bike that is behind the caution sign. That is one of the ones that I am going against.


For the Autorama I created a scrapbook so that they could see the work that I did myself. Here is a picture of the scrapbook. :lol: It was really easy to do since I already had everything written out on here. :lol:

Everyone seems to like it at the show.
Have even seen the judges looking thru my book. :D

I had a blast doing this bike. I also had fun entering it in the Detroit 2008 Autorama.
Here is how Lil' pixie did.

I took two trophies.

1st place in the chix chopper class.
and a cool award.

I was so excited getting the second award :shock: that I didn't hear exactly the wording for it. I know that it had to do with the flame job I did on the kickstand.
