The Lead Sled

[rusty513]

Got the forks back from being sandblasted & put some of it together. As of right now I think I'm going with bare medal clear coated with colored rims & some matching scallops.

 

[stretch]

yeah! you should get some sparkle grips to match whatever color you paint the wheel and scallops. maybe even the seat too. maybe a 26" banana seat. 8)

oh man to continue the fender will be beautiful .. cant wait im like a kid on christmas eve . this is going to be a awesome build .
i know this isnt the rt you want to take but just wondering have you ever seen the sanded flames on bare metal on hot rods . they sand flames into the metal so its like a ghost effect . its very interesting

 

[rusty513]

That's an awesome idea!!!!!!!! Maybe I'll mask off around the scallop designs & sand it.

very purdy i like shinny stuff some of my friends think i am like a moth attracted to a light bulb with shinny stuff. glad to see raw polished metal being done as a color it has a lot of character and is about as basic of a color as you can get, nothing to hide!!

nah, he's in sacramento......he grinded down his roof to bare metal, then cleared it and grinded it again after masking off the flames........maybe not in that order but you get the idea! hahaha. anyways it is siiiiiickk and if this bike gets scallops that same way it'll be meeeaaaannnnnn!

this looks great and adding scallops and coloured rims is a good idea too. maybe you have a pinstriper at hand who can lay down some lines (not too much, I'd say).
can't wait to see the finished bike!

 

[g kustom kuhl]

that's lookin' good. i agree a little bit of color highlights and that thing will POP!

Going to the Indy swap meet this weekend so hopefully I'll find some cool parts for it.

 

[thesuicideride]

indy swap meet this weekend?? any info on the where abouts?

 

[rusty513]

There's info. on it in the events section

 

[rusty513]

Well it actually got into the 50's today so I got one wheel painted, rear fender pieced together & put a headlight on it.

 

[familytruxster]

That is sweet. I'm really diggin' thr wrap around fender. It has that Arlen Ness look to it. Is it bolted together or is it welded?

 

[rusty513]

The fender is just bolted.

 

[familytruxster]

Can you get some close ups of where they join together. I really like it and I don't weld.
