Looks very cool,especially with the armpit-cooler. 8) 8) 8)
Reminds me of my old H-D Liberator chopper (with ape's),with which I visited Sweden for the first time,way back in '87 or so. It looked awesome,but I was completely wasted,by the time I got home.

Thank you for those words, earlier I was looking around on the forum and I found your ratbike, Really nice work! And I like the the fork
and the fake tank!

Hehe, no it's not a merc. It's a Volvo Amazon -62.

I havn't got much work done inte garage lately, so I've been doing some pinstriping instead.
I'm just a beginner, and only with paper and a pencil so far. So don't be to harsh.

What do you think? Check out some more on my webpage! http://www.aroskustom.se

cool cool cool

I like the idea about the seat tube being practically on the middle of the frame, or even more to the front then the back.

And the seat... I want to know what will you do with it - it seems is going in a nice and new direction - like it!

Love the frame. I think you need to find some kind of special leather for the seat. Really set it off.

Thank you for those words, well the seat probably gets a padding from some sort of foam and covered in genuine leather, (black) I think that will last the longest.

Glad you liked the car! Well, the bikeproject is running a little slow for the moment, been busy with other stuff. Planing on getting back to the garage next weekend, the frame is almost done, just need to make some reinforcement on front fork. Then it's of to the paint booth! So it will definitely be finished for this summer. New pictures will be up soon. Stay tuned!
