Hey all - haven't been around for a minute, I had an entry in the 2010 build off, but put my cruiser builds on hold when I picked up a 77 Ironhead. She's done aside for some final touch dutch work. If I remember right, there was somebody doing pinstriping in Ft. Wayne here on RRB's wasn't...

Niiiceee! new idea to co opt!

I've had nothing but grief with Rustoleum Primer, at least 50% of the time, no matter how much shaking I do, I get dust spitting out all over my frame & clogged tips...wipe the frame, clean the tip, shake, spray, more dust....wipe, shake, spray for 30-45 seconds into the air to clear the...

Re: update pics 6-19-10 Rat Bike On Air Bad a $$!

Nice tank, great stance!

Very cool!

Does anyone know the appropriate dropout screw specs(thread count, pitch etc.) for a 37 Columbia? I tried threading in a dropout screw from my 42 Shelby Travler w/no luck, the threads seemed different. I assumed they might be the same. Here's a pic of the dropout (forged)...

Suicide Solution Drop Out Screws Pics coming soon. Shes fully glassed (vs. tank) & prepped for paint - black cherry basecoat, deep black cherry flame job, fogged gold licks... 5 speed suicide shift, 3" Kustom Kruiser tires, Strumey Archer sealed hubs/dyno hub...hoping to get this girl on the...

I'd skip the tractor front end, keep it looking like a trike. Go for real tractor accessories, headlights, seat, monster treaded tires, possibly an IH tractor steering wheel (although you can't go wrong with tall chrome apes), maybe an international harvester themed head badge (one of the cats...

Yep, pretty much my point all along (before it became convoluted by comments about trophy mongering & panty twisting in the vote post). This bike got my vote, as a rat rod, in the rat rod build off. Ace build for sure. All the best.

Rock on.

Again, no insults meant, only opinions. Just ones guys opinions. I just wasn't able to remember the bikes who I felt should have received the ficticious coontail award...the two bikes I mentioned seriously tried hard to make their bikes look cool & succeeded. I'd take the coontail award!

Yeah, did it for myself. My street cred is safe. The opinions were just opinions, not meant to rock the boat or rain on anyones parade, as somebody else pointed out - based on how car shows/build off typically take place. They were just suggestions. No harm no foul. All the best.

I'm sorry man, no insults meant! lol I was just poking a bit o fun, plus I honestly couldn't remember the name of that chopper. It was meant to mirror the Bat Out of heck, Meatloaf cover right? Genius & great concept. So, apologies, I really couldn't remember the name of the bike. All the best!

I'd say then, intentions accomplished!
