Finding yourself is priceless, but kudos on some Gaskill. That was a sweet, sweet ride. I have the EXACT same nanner in glitter green on the Tortoise! [69 murray]

I've been very blessed in 2014. I thank God for another year in the books and the ability to do what I love.

Here is a few from 2014, could find pictures from all the best ones.

Oh my.
can I come to heaven when I pass over?
 
You had an amazing bike year Tyler!!
 
Did'nt really find alot this year, spent lots of time on my hot rods this year.

Here are my 2014 finds I'm most pleased with.

57 X-53

Before

full


Almost done now (survivor)

full


The "Grungy Goodyear"

Late 40's CWC Goodyear Bike. It was a complete bike, just needing some TLC. Really the only pieces added that was not original, is the rear mud flap, and the 34 5window coupe trophy top.

full


full


1950-52 CWC, Western Flyer "Super"

Even though the original owner mounted the 1956 tag to the chaingaurd, I think it makes the bike that much more cool!

As found. On the hunt for the correct rack braces, headlight and tank!

Very nice 2014 additions.
Being one that has been working on a Super too, finding those missing key parts has been a real challenge.
I did pick up a donor Super that has the correct rear rack and chrome crashrails. Not sure what I going to do with this but, if I let those parts go....I'll contact you.

Hey there, Thanks. The bike you have pictured looks like the bike Tony had for sale in Oklahoma City. If so ya beat me to it by chin hair. He wanted to sell the whole bike, and I just wanted the parts I needed.
 
I did get this Super donor from Tony.
Great guy to deal with too.
Using the tank, chainguard and headlight for this project a friend wanted me to complete.

Sorry for the hijack of the 2014 best finds theme here.

Ya, I've bought a couple bikes from Tony.
Would ya sell me the rear rack supports? Is the chrome good?
 
here is my find of the year, not a cruiser but equally cool

ck
Oh My Gosh, I got one of these exact bikes at an auction. Its great. The roller on the rear of the back seat is so cool too. They made so many different Predator bikes. I have never seen the same exact one that I Have. Congrats.
 
I found the supports for the donor Super I have. I asked the owner of these and he said I could sell them. The chrome is pitted on one of the braces but the other is in good shape.
How's $35 + whatever is actual shipping?

Haven't gotten far with this one either. Just have it tore down, cleaned, greased and built back up with the parts that are staying on it.
