I actually welded up the rear rack supports yesterday. First time I've worked on it in a month. I intend to finish it.
Post a pic of Tuckers new ride given the chance.

got some bench time in last night. Roughed out the rear carrier/back seat and the training wheels. Hopefully, will get some more time in tomorrow.......
Haven't done diddley since my last post. Hoping to get a little bench time in come Sunday. One of my scrapper buddies dropped this off last night. If they fit, I've now upgraded the rubber.
If there's anything on this bike you can use, let me know. I may end up using the fenders, depending on...
Managed a little work this afternoon. Nothing pic worthy. Finish welded the bars. As well as shifted the seat post back an inch and a half. Also decided on the name. "THE BUMBLEBEE" When I show what my wife picked up for the project, it will become apparent why I named it that.
Pics to follow...
Snuck an hour in today.
First pic is what's going on at the back end of the bike. More later.

Udall - Easy there, Dubby. You have to remember, these guys are old and require frequent naps between their Ensure and early bird specials.....
Please type louder Udall. My hearing no longer so good. And can you send it in larger font? You know, the eyes.
Now I'd love to send you some sage...
What does that mean????
Allow me to give you a brief tour of mine.......
pics taken about four days ago. And to think, in a previous "life", I was an organization freak.
Since this will be my daughters first bicycle, I of course, have to put the classic bulb horn and thumb bell on it. Given the time, I might try to put a flare on them, but doubtful. Did you say springer?? I have no idea what that is.... :wink:
Got another hour in this evening after the BEAN went down. Teaser pic, including a front tricycle fender I've decided to use. Had to weld in a nut to hold the fender.
Seems I'm leaning toward a beach cruiser look. Not exactly easy considering the chosen frame is all straight bars. Close on the...
