Hi everyone, after posting a bit in the INTROS and FRESH FINDS, I decided it's time to make this official! :mrgreen: lol
PROJECT B-LIST CELEBRITY is underway!!!!
So for those of you who don't know, I got my first bike a few weeks ago from a yard sale for $50
Through research I found out it's a 1954 Scwhinn Hollywood...and then the fun began... :lol:
Here it is when I got it:
I actually work at a Kustom Off road shop and my boss had basically everything I need to make her shine for her red carpet debut.
So I did some polishing and one of the mechanic had some bars for me from his Schwinn trike.
Since then....
I have polished all the chrome
Ordered some new grips and valve caps (yeah they got stars on them) 8)
We took apart the coaster brake cause it wasn't really braking...but it works now! It was just a little greasy....
I also sent my seat to this guy who does upholstery for hot rods and stuff Im gonna pick it up tomorrow! It's black and pink sparkly vinyl
And now Im about to start PHASE II PAINT!!! We are gonna do the classic rat rod flat black with pink pinstripes.
I'll probably be updating this thread every week with pics of all my new goodies!
OH! I want a basket...does anyone know how to get a flat black one?
