What makes it even nicer is being able to buy a classic for a mere $20 ...that never happens around here.

for some extra patina in some areas i went at it with paint as if an 8 year old would :lol: i did it realy messy and with no patients what so ever first i sprayed some windex on the fenders and sprayed burgandy paint ontop of that, than hit that with steel wool and a wire brush.. then (heres where the fun came in) flamthrowerd it with the spray paint and let it burn a bit and last i sprayed it with some water/vingear and threw salt all over it, i put some pictures up tommorow :mrgreen:

Oh just to let you know the front fender is on backward, the white goes to the front.

I always enjoy seeing how people prop up their wheel-less bikes! Nice!

the whole reason this is patina right now is because i dont want to put so much effort into getting that rust out.. but it actualy wont be a difficult task, so i think this is going to a custom 8)
