Resurrected Rolfast!

[sludgeguy]

Here are the before pics, my first build.

My sister was on the way to the scrap yard with it and I intercepted it. Couldn't even turn the handle bars.
The rims and seat were trashed. So I found some replacements.

Need a tip for breaking a skip tooth chain, got a girls bike I'm going to "borrow" the chain, and wheels from. Then I can put the original crank back in service.

After lots of sandaper, a couple rust remover pads for a drill and a bead blaster. Lots of primer, and paint and a few replacement parts I gotta RatRod!

So what do you think for a first timer?

Thanks for lookin,
Sludgeguy

Very nice job. Skip link chains have a master link. You just flex the chain to take the pressure off the side plate and force it off with a thin bladed screwdriver.

Thanks Crassly. Skip tooth chain separted cleaning up the wheels and tuning the rim.
I'll be skip toothed powered in no time!

Thanks for all the kind comments too.
