Re: Bounce to the Ounce build
Cool, I am glad to see this build resurface... I am looking forward to seeing the finished bike.
JLarkin, that's a really neat transformation on your Holiday.

Re: Bounce to the Ounce build
mask you edge first, if your masking stuff like scallops i use the 3M fineline tape for the edge and just use the standard width auto masking tape and stock masking paper off of the fineline stuff. the skinnier the tape the better curves you can pull off.

Re: Bounce to the Ounce build
I like using the painter's masking tape, the blue kind. It comes off easy, and can be reused if you have cut a pattern or shape in it.

well today is humid like crazy so no paint for me ..
but since this is the Bounce to the Ounce build .. its a Pepsi themed bike for me . thats one of there ad slogans from the 50's " more bounce to the ounce" .
so the paint will be red white and blue but i wanted it toned down a little so im doing navy,ivory,and a crimson.
my buddy made me a head badge i told him the theme and he surprised me with this
still dont know if i want to paint it or not i love it so much the way it is
I've been looking at some of the bikes here and noticed some are pulling trailors and for ha has i went to CL and typed up Pepsi... and a 60's cooler came up in my town for 50 bucks this was tuesday night . the next day (yesterday) i went to the local antique shop and asked if she had listed it on CL .. said no but does it look like this one .. and there was a 50's Pepsi Cooler in her shop for less then the CL one .. awesome condition .. so i took it ,
its big and heavy thinkin about making something up so i can tow it or my pinstriping kit behind the monark
anyone with trialor info for bikes ?

Re: Bounce to the Ounce Update 7/2
I used a kid's bike trailer as a base for my wooden trailer, made from paneling, but your cooler would fit right on one of those just right.
