Anxious to see how it looks. I guess if it doesn't turn out as you like you can still paint it.

Yeah me too! lol
I havent laid the heat to the frame yet, kinda scared... I dont think im getting it hot enough to take the temper out... I hope!

Im also thinking of ditching the name, this thing has taken on a completely different personality than I originally imagined.

Maybe KFR for short. Kentucky Fried Rat? or something along those lines.

i dont know how i missed this one :? youve got some great ideas going on with this!
if you dont end up leaving it blued and do paint id do just the chain guard around the 'pipes' (just around the very tips and at the angle theyd shoot if they were real stubbys)blued......

You went and put 2 wheels on it so you would be like everybody else. But that's OK. The rest of the bike is what looks the best. Nice bike.
