Lugisland said:This looks awesome! Can you please tell me the type of rivets that you used, and how you installed them? Are they threaded and installed with a hammer into a drilled hole? :?:
Thanks. Yes, each rivet needed a hole drilled. It really didn't take all that much time. I've spent more time prepping frames for paint than I spent on this one.cman said:Did you drill the frame on each rivet?
Great Look.
DesignIt said:Beautiful bike! I like it just the way it is. If you want to add something, maybe some airbrushed WW2 style "nose art" and some "kill stickers", like silhouettes of mountain bikes, track bikes, Stingrays, etc.
BTW, great explanation on the rivet process. Thanks!

I haven't even started putting parts together on mine. I just look at my parts and disappoint myself at how slow i'm working on it.

Fireproof said:Wow Tater, I just took a look at your Photobucket album and all I can say is WOW! It certainly has a lot more character than a factory job, and yet it is so very tastefully done! I too think it is more fighter than bomber. I bet it rides real sweet, doesn’t it?

HRJ, thanks for the thoughts. It’s appreciated. I surfed on over and had a look at your Salt Shaker build. For sure, there’s very nice work on that one. You are indeed talented.HotRodJen said:thats so awesome with the rivits .. im kinda with texasbigjon (sp) but i would add one graphic .. the corsair thats it. tastefully done somewhere not over baring
jiminyshiznit said:Whoa! That's the nicest Felt I've seen... Like some of the others have said, I wouldn't do another thing to it, other than stare at it! Man-o-man! ... this is way too much bike for Ignatius Reilly's valve!
