awesome! The bike is becoming a true rat rod!
Thanks man, I was going for an old-school Rat Rod look to it. Kinda slow going with other projects and little cash. But it helps the creative process not to use ANYTHING that is new or bought.
The bike was on C-list for $10 and I traded a trash find bmx bike for it. So that was free.
Rattle can paint Flat black and red $6
Seat (Freebie)
The lights are both flea market and garbage finds,
The taillight is a red lens (Got a bunch of them for $2) glued to an old compass ($0.25) with a $1 clip on LED light stuck inside,
The headlight was a garbage find with corroded batteries and missing parts, So I put another $1 clip on LED light in it too.
The back rack was a kid's skate scooter, (Freebie)
The flask pouch was from my neighbor's old couch, (Freebie)
The shifters are from an old Huffy 10 speed (Freebie) with golf club stocks (trash score) and dollar store bag o skulls for the tops, ($1)
I think I've spent more on the decals and my spike valve caps than anything else on the bike. :lol: :mrgreen:
All together I have under $25 in it. To me it's Priceless.
