Found this Huffy Galaxie in the trash at a storage unit. I feel lucky. Getting it sandblasted and I should have it back by Wednesday. Note the gooseneck. I didn't do that I swear...

It's a little bit trickey getting the actual URL of the image from flickr. You have to right-click on the image and select one of the image sizes. Then it will open the image there. Next you can get the actual image address by right-clicking on the picture and selecting 'properties'. It will give you your true image address to copy.

@M.Martian I'm assuming this is the URL you used? http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2698/416 ... 0463b1.jpg

Curse you Flickr!

I posted a different size/resolution of that pic. Same exact process for getting it though.

Gotta love those photo hosting websites at making them a PITA to use.

So the rear fender is a bit banged up. How do you straighten fenders? or cut them off?

Blasted and ready to prime

Kool bike; hope you don't put the neck back on backwards :? just jokin :lol:

 

[criminyjicket]

@A.S.Boltnut It does give it that streamlined look though doesn't it? :wink:

 

[A.S.BOLTNUT]

oh you bet ! haha so what color you goin with ?

 

[criminyjicket]

Green metal flake and white. The fenders and tank will be white with a green pinstripe and the rack and frame will be green with white pinstripes. I hope to start shooting at least the white tomorrow.

And possible striping for the tank

Cool! There were Huffy Camaros in the late 60s that had a factory paint scheme like that. -Adam
