So to make a long story short, this was going to my build off bike until i chopped the seat tube completely off. :lol: as long as you look cool right?

When i bought it

Tinkering with the handlebars and fender positions. i needed a hand. . . or a leg :D

Did that sprocket originally have a decal on it? Looks pretty cool now.

KC, thanks. old school vans is all i wear :D
Joe, yeah it came off of a west coast choppers bike, i took some fine grit sand paper to it then ima polish it out before i reassemble the bike. i agree with ya, it looks pretty darn cool now!
 
Gave the handle bars some custom grips by using twine and, my favorite tool, super 77 :lol: me and my brother were in a antique shop and the guy had a bowl full of buffalo nickels. as soon as i saw them a little light went off in my head. the outcome was this...

Now its time to add some color! nothing like Florescent Orange from Rustoleum :D

Got the tape pulled off this morning, id say this is pretty darn snazzy considering this is the first time ive ever successfully laid 2 colors down on one bike. LOVE LOVE LOVE how it turned out

More to come :wink:
 
Thanks guys. this is my favorite color scheme so far! does anyone know a good way (and cheap way) to relace a wheel set?

After hours on youtube trying to find the easiest way to put wheels back together, i finally got them. i painted the hubs and the rims to match the neon orange on the frame. this bike's gonna POP!!! :mrgreen:

and please excuse the disaster area i call my room.

nice paint job.... are you going to put a clear coat on to shine that rustoleum?? just askin

Honestly, im not a big fan of clear coat, ive tryed it in the past and it never seems to come out just right. and one thing that really gets me mad is messing my paint up. i just dont wanna risk it on this build, but i just gotta western flyer i might try it on :lol:
