I love the tank wideners!

You should've put your own little note around the pigeon's other ankle! "Next time send chicken... fried."

really nice build you have going! and striping with those brushes is next to impossible so do yourself a favor spend the $10 get a mack striping sword and go at it(i mean the ones youve done with a model brush are really good especially for using those!)
great job :mrgreen:

Hopefully I'll be able to get another old bike and if I do, I'll probably invest in a couple of proper tools like brushes/enamel.

For that bit more sinister look, I made a fonky visor for the fog lamp. Didn't like it at first but It's grown on me. Being I didn't have any old sheet metal hanging around that was thin enough to shape, cut easily and fit into the under rim of the lamp housing, I was forced to go to the 99cent store and pick up a very thin SS bowl. And believe me, it bugs me that this small part of the bike was something that was made in China... :cry:

Since the finish line is next week, this might be it. Still wanted to experiment with making a better seat post and more striping. Putting a speaker in the tank, etc., but I've shirked some responsibilities a little to make the deadline and gotta get back on track. BUT IT'S ALLL GOOOOD! :mrgreen:

Can't wait to see the shroud installed.
Love the use of odd things on builds to accomplish a creative idea.

Hey dude, all of your photobucket pics stopped working?
 
Re: ~~"Smokin In The Boyz Room"~~ Finishing touches..maybe. 13

Oh cr@p, I've been uploading new photos and It looks like I messed something up when I created a new album!!! I hope i can re-link!!!!!!!
 
Re: ~~"Smokin In The Boyz Room"~~ Finished, pics forthcomin'

PHEWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! I didn't think it would be a huge deal if my pics went missing from RRB's since there were a lot of witnesses to my build, but LUCKILY, all I had to do is fix my album name. Quick fix. I'm not used to fixing my technical issues so quickly :lol:

I've been taking pics all around since I realized I still have to Monday to submit the finished build (thought Friday was the deadline :roll: ). So I will have my "photo shoots" in by Sunday 8)
 
Re: ~~"Smokin In The Boyz Room"~~ The Finale.

Some last pics to show some details of the bike and the finished version. I've been taking the bike on some "photo shoots" and have been having fun with getting a little creative with those shots. I'll post those in the finished section. For now, here's the '52 Monark with the '53 plate :wink:

I just bought one of those knock off dremel tools from Harbor Freight and returned it due to lack of power (kept stalling easily). How well did it work for you on that stainless? Wondering if maybe I just got a lemon?

They're not high rpm, they are underpowered so it took a while to cut. The advantage I had was that this metal was super thin. About the thickness of 4 or 5 sheets of paper, but rigid. I just took my time and it went ok.

Yes sir, given the name of the website, ratrodbikes.com = my goal was to make a rat rod, not a pretty bike. But I still appreciate the bikes that have been beautifully painted, customized or restored.
 
hey man, as promised, you got one of my three votes... your bike is phenomenal and i wish you the best in the build off. outstanding craftsmanship and quality with this build. congrats on owning a sweet bike! cant wait to follow your next build!

Easy E
