Geez man. That thing is beautiful especially with those supremes!
 
thank you man!

so i welded in the crank case, got the bike down to bare metal (i will paint it in the future), grinded 90% of the welds smooth and transfered most off my Schwinn to make this one ridable. still waiting on the white glitter banana seat and matching grips i ordered. gonna make some "Z" bar style handles later on cause i really like these on my Schwinn and i also have to make some pedals for it. well, enjoy the pics i just put the chain on it a couple minutes ago, had to link 2 chains from wal-mart.

btw its just over 7 feet long.

Hi,
I was wondering if you have more pictures of your sqareback? I really like it alot.lol
 
ok, today i made my pedals...

basically took black plastic ones and used the internals. got a piece of pipe and welded it to the cups for the bearings. for the pedals them selfs i used a chain i had laying around. cut the links i needed and welded them... similar to what Indian Larry (RIP) did on his chain bike or old lowrider steering wheels...

the banana seat has not gotten here yet, and i could not wait any longer to try and ride this thing. so i rigged the seat off my Schwinn just to be able to sit and pedal, the seating position is not to desirable right now, the banana seat should take care of that. it will be a little higher seating and further back almost over the rear tire. it rides smoother than i expected, you just gotta watch out for reflectors and dips in the road. i scrapped the bottom of the frame a bunch of times already.

i took it to a 4th July show (in the bed of my buds 59 El Camino). everyone was checking out the bike more than the cars! i think it may have to do with my girl riding it.

well, this is the only decent pic i got shes not pedaling but you get the picture... btw she is wearing the "Praise the Lowered" wife beater i got her. last thing, i also let her drive the Buick to the show! while i took the Squareback.


i brightened up the pic in photoshop but its still a bit blurry...

Your killing me with the 51 special, I had one with the three on a tree very nice. I like this beast your building and the pedals finish it off nicely. :mrgreen:
thanks man, my Buick had a 3 on the tree, i kept the motor but upgraded the drive train to a 700r4 trans and cutlas rear end.
