Here's some updated pics of my bike.
Before I go into any detail, I need to thank 3 forum members who helped me out.
fidel rambo for the new Worksman fork
rgallen for the 'tank' plates
HuffyDesigner for the NOS Huffy Cranbrook decals
Drew, Ricky and Jordan you guys are awesome!
OK, on to the updates:
I couldn't fit the Kenda Kraze 24x3 in the original Monark fork, so I used a SUPER wide Worksman fork. I had to swap out the 4-bolt BMX style stem for and old Wald unit to fit the fork, now a 4.25" tire would probably fit it there! For the 'tank', I was inspired by grego47's Golden Rod build
Since I have NO pinstriping skills, I used stock Huffy Cranbrook decals on the tank and seatpost (fender one day too, if I can get one to fit over that huge tire)
So, here it is, finished......for now.
version 1.0
version 2.0 (the new fork rakes the front out a bit more, it handles nicer now too)
tank shot (poor cell phone pic):
the Official Rat Rod Registration sticker (eBay find)
Hope you like it, now I'm off to ride it!
Cheers!
