now to let that sit for a few days and then i can clear it....i guess its time to do the frame tonight after the boy goes to sleep
 
It takes a "great" painter, to make something look like it hasn't been painted! :wink: ......Had to look twice, for a minute there, I thought you were "barefoot".
 
well got to spend 2 hours measuring and taping but the hard parts over now :roll:

Hey sweet idea!

How did you get that ol rusty look :?:
chemical paint stripper and a lot of patience :?:
Looks awsome!! Great :idea: for my bike project.


Bye :D
 
great frame! i like the patina! are you planning to put a skiptooth on it? :D
 
danimal3...the rusty look came from around 80 years of aging naturally but everythings solid so i figured id roll it that way....
boardtrackfan....im going to pass on the tank this time :shock: but theyll be one on the b10 when its done
