build ever. I don't really count the desecration we (my two brothers and I) performed on the neighborhood bikes as builds, rather, taking stuff that didn't work and making use of it. I consider a 'build' to be something with purpose and some modicum of design in it. So... on the the subject of my (ahem) artistic intent.
If you have been paying attention to the new kids bikes I posted my '39/'40 CWC Roadmaster in this thread viewtopic.php?f=6&t=34042 but will include pics so you don't have to go back and forth all the time. I got it about a month ago and have been riding the crap out of it trying to figure out what I did and didn't like about it and the biggest dislike was the paint. Someone stood it in a corner and punished it by beathing it about the head and shoulders with about a dozen or so poof-cans of red Krylon. I'm more of a fan of older paint styles and colors so it took me a while to figure out what colors I didn't want to go with including, but not limited to red, black and green. I happened to have about 3/4 of a gallon of Tampico Yellow from some work I did on an old Ford pickup I used to have so I figured 'Why not?'...
N-E-way, here's what I started with...
Pretty much just got in from another couple hours sanding and wrenching about 20 mins ago and haven't taken any pictures of the progress yet but will have them up tomorrow. It's just been too .... hot (hit 118* today) during normal daytime hours to make any REAL progress.
