I think I figured out my theme/color scheme


Im thinking...
Red line tires. or white letter
#11 (because thats my # )
3 speed w/shifter. (maybe...)
Hand painted local auto businesses.

there is much more thought to come
I was out in the shed tonight again and I was brainstorming possible rear springer ideas.
I want this to seem like a heavy bike because thats what I think of when I see these cars

[Craiggo]

MAYBE^ i havent made up my mind yet. i'll sleep on it

[Houndog]

That's a cool car!!!! Looking forward to seeing you pull off that look..

I told my friend to come over the other day, just to hang out. When he got there, I was out working on this bike. Prior to this, I mentioned the bike build off and told him some about it. Well when he showed up, he asked, "is this that bike you have in that dumb competition?" I replied "yes, why is it dumb?" he said it was because I am spending all this time working on a bike, and paying for all the parts, when I could just buy a bike. I really had no answer for this. I said I would be building a bike in the meantime anyways. He also thought it was stupid that I was doing it for no cash prize... I was just dumbfounded by how non-nastalgic and maybe even greedy some people can be, haha. I am just in it for the fun of it. Tin Machine is right about how winning doesn't matter. If there was a cash prize, I'm not so sure if I would even do the build off. It is just more friendly this way. I tried to work on the bike a little more while he was there but he seemed to have zero interest in any part of it, and he was a little insulting actually. Just thought I'd share my little tale, thanks for readin
I decided that I will stick to the theme of that ace of spades car, I will post a couple more pictures of those cars soon, maybe tonight even.

WHO NEEDS ENEMIES HUH?!? SOME FOLKS JUST DON'T GET IT! MAYBE IT'S JEALOUSY. KEEP WORKING BUDDY YA LOOKING GOOD! PEACE

[Craiggo]

Thanks Jake!

They are small, but I found some more pics of this apparently famous car.







this guy holds the winning record at a track in New York called islip raceway, and three time winner(or possibly more) at Freeport Stadium. Kinda cool I guess

[Skipton]

I like this build! Glad you got the pedal off!? ... I hate it when that happens.

Keep up the great work!

[Houndog]

Just buy a bike???? hahahahaha...I like to have something unique that I have worked on....
Probably a good thing most don't get it or we would have one heck of a time finding and affording parts...

[Craiggo]

That's true. Affordable parts come at a price, ignorant neighbors hahahah

[Craiggo]

I changed the name to the name of the driver of this car. I feel like I will do a theme build straight from this car. I like the whitewall front and black in the back. I have some ideas. anyone know where I can find a fat 26" slick? and a skinny 26" whitewall? hehe

[Xcruiser]

Love that picture, now that's real art! Keep up the good work

They are like Hub angels in the snow!!!!!

[Craiggo]

I think this would be a sweet combo, but the rear slick is quite pricy

What do you think?
