Thanks dude. Looking to add some art deco influence to the build

That explains the wing.

This is looking awesome. Can't wait to see the next details.

Elgin Single Bar
I'm digging it.
Nailing the art Deco Streamliner genre with that killer seatpost.

Got them cut in metal

Are you replacing the drop outs or doing a bolt on

My FAVORITE C.A.D. System!
Loooooooooooooo...king........... GREAT!

I was thinking to replace the drop outs, frame is 110 spacing, but my 3 speed hub is 120. But I might just do bolt ons and cold set the rear? Haven't decided yet

 

[GTHOtrod]

Quick coat of black over the frame, and black wall tires. Not set on final colours yet, but thinking old and worn look

 

[GTHOtrod]

The original chain guard was boring, so I cut up the gold one and made one out of two.

Good thinking, that looks great!

 

[GTHOtrod]

Thinking it needs some raked out forks.

Grabbed a pair from the stash

Trimmed off the brake bosses. And arched the brake bridge area.

A tweek in the pipe bender

Looking better

Quick mock up

 

[GTHOtrod]

I've got two VERY different ideas for the paint on this one.

60s show rod. White/ purple fade, white walls

Or, well worn. Black/ green, black walls

I would love to see white/purple ShowRod version!

Kota forks look great, also really like how you've got the back fender mounted

Thanks dude. I will cut a little off the bottom of that rear fender for some ground clearance. But not too much trimming.

I really like the idea of both. Think both options would suit the build. But, I am leaning towards the show rod idea ever so slightly.

 

[Brian macumber]

Show rod would like to do that myself but couldn't do the fade.
