I'd take a slushy with my son over stripping paint any time!!

I cant help but think of the line from Wizard of Oz where the witch says "I'm melting" when I see all the curled up paint on your frame!

too late to sand and the fiber optic cable got cut earlier today so i couldnt finish work stuff (until now) scribbled around for some possible lettering for a while and went out and started cleaning up my workbench, just using what was laying around to rig up a license plate mount, don't know if it'll make it on the bike or not though, miller generator tail light, reflector hanger and a sturmey shifter chain (couldnt find a bolt small enough )

The ultimate wheelset! The truck is amazing. I predict good things for this build!

Love the effect the stripper had. Very Spiderman.

Not much to show, just made a deal for a sprocket earlier today. The tire and wheel fits in the frame but the tire rubs on the chain guard, trying to shim it so I don't have to notch the guard out, but I'm waiting until I'm sure about the crank first. Still waiting for a fork to show. Should have it in rider condition and painted by the end of the month though and then I will work on the smaller details.

Since theres not much to post I will just let you guess which 1 of these parts will show up in my next post

You have the prefect frame to start with. Wish I could find some of that paint stripper.

Big light bulb. I wonder if you could use silly string as a mask similar to the way you do lace paint masking?

Might make for an interesting paint job, i remember silly string at parties and the greasy stains left behind, don't know if that would help or hurt the look you would be going for and honestly i dont know if they make silly string like they used to either, i think it's still flamable so theres got to be something pretty mean still in that stuff.

That's even cooler.

Not my doing, the wheels were made for Electra's Straight 8, powder coated spokes and plotted checker decals aren't in my skill set yet.
