Beer bike is taking shape nicely! I see your frame (like mine) would accommodate a rear drop stand. Any thought to adding one of those for extra 'cargo' support when loading / unloading?

Love the patina on the frame....:wink1:

Thanks OddJob;-)

Rear drop stand. Yes, I would love to have one to go on the bike, in place of the side kickstand they put on it that won't be going back on it. I may even make another attempt at making one. Will definitely need the 'cargo support' while I am loading it up.

I like the rusty metal patina as well. Very little left of the dark red that was sanded on before the house paint. I kinda broke the rust seal by removing the house paint. So in order to make it solid for another 80 years, I decided it will probably need some unique color hard paint, then some flat matte on top.

Maybe even a 1200grit wet sand down, then polish off with some rubbing compound to give it a 50 year old shine look.

Great work on the rack man!
It's gonna look like it's always been that way when you're done.
 
Love the color! Henry would be proud!
 
GREAT choice on the COLOR.
 
Looking good MC! Like that blue hued combo. And those tires....what brand are they? Nice fit to the build.

Nice job on the blackout. They have a very old school look without that bright red and orange logo. And the white rims really make them stand out!

Thanks, I almost picked up a set of k-rads for this build, and found these for a decent price.
