Well I guess I'd better get in on this before everyone gets to much of a head start.The patient is a 24"Hiawatha I got from Crasserly in the great selloff of 'ot 8'.It's got the peaked fenders which are so cool they might have to stay! Got a few other ideas in mind but guess I'd better just get to breaking her down and sanding! :wink:

wouldnt let me quote this so................

Here's your chance to build the ultimate Rat Rod Bike.

Follow the rules below and have fun! We're keepin' this thing pretty loose so don't get yourself in a knot. :shock:

Participants should use their thread as a journal including write ups and photos.

1. You can only enter one bike in the build off (can change bikes once if needed)
2. Start a new post and use the bike name as the Subject.
3. Must use factory frame....no altering of original frame structure
(grinding off fender tabs and cutting seat tube height is okay, just no major frame design changes).
4. Bike must not already be built.
5. Must include before, progress, and after photos (all in one thread please)
6. Bike must be ridable.
7. Use any parts you like....mo rat = mo bettah!
8. Parts can be attached any way you wish (includes welding).
9. Paint must be applied by builder.
10. KEEP IT CHEAP...remember...IT'S A RAT ROD!!!!

You must post your completed bike by August 31, 2008.

DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS POST.

Now get ta buildin'!
under rule #1.....
now get on it :mrgreen:
