Re: ★★ Hot Rod Deluxe ★★(UPDATE 9- Fork Primed and Painted)

After gathering parts, pieces, and screws, the build off is finally here. This year I'll be starting with a 1953 Columbia 3 Star Deluxe. It's gonna be a real Hot Rod :mrgreen: My theme is gonna be a bobber, but not just any old bobber 8) There will be a SCHWINNRAY twist as usual :mrgreen: Not sure if I can build a bike as cool as last year, but will see. The plans are secret for now, but I'll sneak a bit out...bare metal :mrgreen: Good luck to all and see you at the finish line 8)

Here's the start...

Oh crap, I have competition!! I'm using the same exact bike!!! But yours still has the springer. Lucky!


Lets see who wins the battle of the 53 columbia's....

Glad you're keeping the fork, i can sleep at night now..... :roll: :mrgreen:

Honestly, since you painted it black, it's 'beauty marks' will hardly be noticeable.

Good call Young'en!

Cheers,
