Multi-ColorFlow, Boba, Scribble's Rat-Flow. Part XVIV Finished For Real This Time I Swear

[Scribble]

I'm in and I've got the bike with three names. The first name comes from @Onewheelsqueel his son named it Boba Fett because of its similar color palette to that character, second name was Multi-ColorFlow you can thank @kingfish254 for that one, and the third one I gave it Scribble's Rat-Flow.

Well the flow Rat take the cheese with the most votes . That Sk is a great bike but this bike just has some great caricature. Nice box of part with plenty of potential [emoji1303]

Already looks good, also reminds me that I need to find the missing parts for my beehive.

How about Boba-Multi-Flow (Bobamultiflow)-(Multibobaflow)

The bike with many names.

The parts pile and idea pile is in Over-flow ! Like the looks of this already Scribble.
RaT oN!

Nooo !! What are you doing, my title is just going to keep getting longer

Just ordered a set of new shoes for the Flow.

Alright more work getting done, took a brush wheel to the skirt guards today.

I also got a little inspiration for how this build will look in the end, the Rat-Flow is already a bucket when it comes to it's original paints condition. I love these old Ratty muscle cars that are a mix of original paint and parts from other cars yet all the chrome it nice and shiny and the tires an internals are brand new, it's a really cool look in my option.

 

[OddJob]

AGREED ^ ! I want to do a build like that someday. New tires and wheels, but a collage of mix matched parts that fit, but have their own flavor. I like the direction your'e headed scribble!

 

[KOTA]

I like your inspiration. That bike will look perfect all cleaned up, with a natural patina.

 

[Scribble]

Rockin and rollin. Got everything broke down and ready for my boiled linseed oil treatment, I also have all the chrome and metal parts soaking in cleaning vinegar.

 

[Scribble]

I forgot to show what the bike looked like before I got it. This is what the condition was like when @Onewheelsqueel first found it.

And here is the work @Onewheelsqueel did before selling it to me.

And here is the paint removal I did.

 

[Scribble]

Ok all the parts are out of the vinegar bath, and man oh man did that do the job most these parts have probably never been this clean since they rolled off the factory floor.

The chains look really good, one was so rusty it was basically one piece of metal
You can really see the affects of the vinegar here, instead of rust there is bare metal now.

 

[OddJob]

Good progress. I've never actually soaked parts in vinegar. I've used it on a scrubbie and steel wool and rag, but you really got a good result!

Clean, but not TOO sparkly....

No not to sparkly but I kind of dig it, and its a whole lot better then rust. It also goes with the build quite well, I have a good mix of patinated chrome parts and bare metal parts that I'm going to mix together when I start reassembly.

 

[Scribble]

Started in on the wheel set, and got if finished today as well.

One of the things I love using in my builds, is original US made tubs you just can't find anything that match's these in quality.

Rocken some OG drop centers.

Still one of the coolest hubs ever.

 

[OddJob]

Nice work on the wheels. The drop centers are my favorite wheel. try to save them whenever I can.

This one is coming along great. With the double parts you keep laying out, are you planning on making this a tandem DuoFlow?

although that would be cool, no the reason there's double parts is that I have the Flows sister bike off to the side. A 1950 J.c Higgins Special Line thats waiting for the Flow to be done, then it will get all the other parts.
