The first one with the hairspray looked good, but after using Rustoleum textured spray and seeing you use that spray popcorn stuff, that coffee grounds trick just doesn't cut it.
No build-off for me this year. I have some major work to do on our front porch this summer. Grand baby number three was born at the end of March, so Granny and I will be spending more time at our oldest son's place.
I did pick up a 1941 CWC Western Flyer that I will be working on here and there...
Squeaky seats seems to be a common complaint from Electra owners. I changed the seat on mine shortly after I got my Electra. Didn't ride it long enough to hear any creaking or squeaking before I changed the seat. I just didn't find the factory seat all that comfy! :21:
The frame geometry is different than the Hyper. OP is crank forward, Hyper just has a bent back seat tube. Never saw an OP bike in Walmart, just the Hyper. Must be a regional thing. Thanks.
Perhaps Ocean Pacific isn't an obscure brand for sports wear, but what about bicycles?
My OP Roller. No clue who actually built it
As it looks today...

Was doing some yard work and stuff Saturday and went into the shop to cool off. Saw the Mean Machine sitting there in the subdued natural light and snapped a few pictures in the shop. Gotta get the pictures done and write up the finished thread before all the work becomes a DNF.
It looks fine without the lights, but maybe try them attached to the speed frame instead of the grill. A lot of the old hot rods had their headlights mounted down low.
