You must have the patience of a saint to do that detailed paint work.
Can't wait to see it go together


Thank you. :D Yeah it takes a while to do the paint. Keeps me busy though and worth it in the end. It dry outside at the moment, so i'm going to get a few more coats on the truss rods.

Cheers man! :)

It's been dry today! So I got outside and did some more painting on the truss rods.They are nearly done and ready for staining. They are being painted the same colour as the frame and forks.

I managed to find a nice set of Torrington Pedals, which I believe were taken from a 1930's - 1940's Colson Packard 26" Lady's bicycle.They arrived today, so I couldn't wait to get them on to see what they looked like!

Real nice :D

Oh yeah, I forgot about the headbadge.

Well, I am going to pass the name idea on to fordsnake and his MOFO build. It could be MO FAUX.

Thank you fordsnake. It going to be great to get it all together!

I managed to get a little bit of painting done today, well before it rained again :roll: I can't believe it can rain so much :lol:

Truss rods, little extension pieces and fender are being painting at the moment. so I shall get the pics up tomorrow. Hope to get some supplies, wood etc this weekend for the tank and oil tank.Plus some more textured and grey paint.
