>>>Eliminator 20" Muscle: Final finished picture here, p. 62

Postby Peatbog on Mon Apr 30, 2012 8:14 pm

This was a Bratz. It will be the "Eliminator," a name I believe has been used on an old musclebike before, but since I like it, I'm using it also. But mainly, I wanted a long name for the chainguard so as to fill it fairly well.

I am going for a drag racing look. This is my first entry in the Rat Rod International Bike Build, so I want to keep it fairly simple, but amongst other things I hope to add a wheelie bar and maybe even a drag chute.

Other than that, I don't have much of a plan.

By the way:

Well, the bike is already done. I had to do something.



Now, where did I put my yellow paint...

Okay, it's just a freaking tire, but every muscle bike needs a wide slick.

$11.00.

Dang, this thing is already starting to cost me. If I was a real Rat Rodder, I would have had one of these already just lying around and could have just dug it out of the pile.

Those girlie wheels on the Bratz bike are going to have to go too.

Anyway, progress so far is to have hung a tire on the handlebars of another bike and take a picture of it. Yep.

Well it appears that if I am making a drag bike and I am painting it yellow, then I need a headlight with the lens tinted red:

I'd love to see a little tank on the front like on that car. Maybe use one of those Hieneken mini fridge kegs!
