I finally got back into the bike shop about a month ago. This restoration was done for a customer. As you can see from the first picture, it was in rather good shape. I was really impressed at how straight the fenders were. With every bike I work on, I seem to learn something new. On this one I learned that you can buy waterslide decal paper to use in your inkjet printer. It worked very well and I'm excited at what else I can use it for. I would also like to thank forum member zedsn for selling me the truss rods. I didn't think I would be able to find those. I know like usual that this isn't technically a rat rod, but I thought some would enjoy seeing it. I thought I'd also mention that I've started finishing the Buddha bike for those that remember it.
