RALLY RAT! More Painting! Woo Hoo!

Postby outskirtscustoms on Tue May 08, 2012 4:41 pm

Finally got started on my build off bike. If this bike wins it will be the first girl's frame to win a build off AND the first 20" to win a build off! I will be starting with this 1968 Schwinn Fairlady frame.

You may remember this bike

It is giving it's wheel covers to this build Little paint and they should work great.

Glad to see you finally decided to join us. I'd love to find a set of solid wheel disks, maybe just 2.

Cool. There aren't enough 20"ers in this build off. I think I saw only one 24" (Jake). Anyone got a 16"er going?
I tried being serious, but it was boring.

Mine is a 20" (dual) rear and 24" front, I guess I could throw a 16" spare on it.

I got all the wheel covers painted and put them on some rims today They look great! It got dark before I could get pics. I test fit them on the Dyno Zone I got today to see how it looked and let's just say I'd love to find another set of these too.

Thanks for the tip I'll have to keep my eyes peeled. I also found a 16" wheel thrown out today. Kinda looks like a big wheel or unicycle wheel It has a crank integrated into the hub. Also has half a wheel cover on it but much heavier plastic. I'll get a picture of it tomorrow.

Sadly I cut a set off of a Royce Union Spinout a couple years ago... STUPID STUPID STUPID! I need them for my daughter's tag-along, I'll just make some.
