Sinner 4's First Rat Rod

[Sinner4]

Well its time to cut and reweld. Picked up a Co-Workers X-Wifes old Western Flyer. Been in the shed for 16 years, Pulled it in from the cold and snow and went to work. The tear down was fun, rusted and a bent crank to boot. First is the Gender Change, then chop the fenders, Fat White Wall Tires, Paint the rims, then find some bars and sadle to enjoy the ride. First night in the build.

More to follow....

Well lets skip to the end. The build took about 2 weeks, kinda working at night. Only replacement parts are the tires, seat and the chain. I wish I could have found a really cool springer leather Brooks Seat.. OH well, it however was a Women's 70's bike... Bike is flat black with Rattle can Sunshine Red on the steel rims.

And the beauty by the bike is my Sister in Law.

Still going strong, well the rear drop out was cracked, weld and repaint and added some more red to the tail end.

I've had the idea to flip the top tube like this before, but haven't done it.

You executed it very well!
