This is a 1957 Wards Hawthone, I picked up and started this project on June 14, 2008. This is my 1st ever ratrod bike project buildoff.
Here are pics when I first picked it up...
The I tore when whole thing apart and started sanding, I decided on the colors while spending countless hours of thinking and sanding in my garage, I also painted the bike myself. I used Dupli-Color Paintshop primer, Flat black dupli color, candy red Dupli color, and Dupli-Color Clear. Hung all the parts in the garage and painted them in a day and a half.....
The last few weeks or so ive been putting it back together slowly.....
Last weekend I barrowed some bars to see how high I wanted the new bars im ordering....
And today I got my new Seat, Grips, and Pedals!!! the seats trim matched the bike perfectly!!!!!
Bars comming soon................... what do you think so far....
