I decided to do this in memory for all who died in wars. Ignore my post about the rat bmx.

A noble cause. My uncle rebuilds surplus military vehicles like deuce and a halfs and M-151 jeeps. The jeeps can only be found in pieces these days. I look fwd to following your build.

A purple heart for a head tube badge maybe?

[SCHWINNRAY69]

Sweet build, I'll be watching

[kidgambit]

I like the purple heart idea. But how am i supposed to curve the medal in the shape of the headtube

Race car builders bend metal with a hammer and then smooth it with the english wheel. Perhaps you could bend it with a rubber mallet.

Im worried about the paint and plating chipping when i shape it

Plenty of military inspiration in the attached thread. Our military is so big and so diverse that the list of possible military themes looks endless. I liked the one where the builder showed his rank, units in which he served and bases where he served on the bike.
