Well, I jacked the rims off of this for "Night Rider" so i salvaged the rear rim from my buddy and the front off my drag bike (r.i.p), Heres what i got, Still being rebuilt.

Haha Jim, Your grips handle bars and that tire are in this pic, We gotta ride sometime man!!!..

Cool beans you got that WCC. That seat sure looks like toast....lol

I ended up cutting a small piece off of the WCC seatpost to use as a shim to fit the frame.....and then using a lathe I turned down a metal insert to fit inside the WCC post....and then adapt down to an oldschool size seat post. I mounted a vintage pan style springer seat on my WCC now.

It looks AWESOME now......I'll have fresh pics posted soon...... 8)

Hey Ricky, Nice score!
......this is what I did with my 50 Dollar WCC's.

All you need is a cheap Harbor Freight Welder and go for it!

***The one in the foreground ended up turning into the Super Tanker.

Hey Rick, here's a couple pics of what my WCC looks like the vintage seat and custom seatpost I made.......definately changed the look of the bike I think.

Kenny your WCC's are SICK!!!!!!!!!!!

If I might ask, what kind of welder are you using? I've been looking at Northern Tool, and Harbor Frieght's websites lately...mainly looking at welders. Northern has a nice Clarke welder...and a nice Hobart that I like. Both welders are in the $350-$450 range.

I REALLY want a gas welder...to get a smoother finnish.
