Yeh Baby. It's done. "62-3-4? Hiawatha Flightlinerish

Well, It took most of my free time for most of a week but I just rode it down to the corner store and man is it sweet. I wish I had before pics but my hard drive went belly up after I started this project so all the old pics are gone.

The "jet intake" on the font of the tank has been reconstructed using bondo.
Four or five hours of scrubbing chrome with 0000 steel wool.
Searched the city over looking for flat red paint. Then used up the only can I could find and had to go look for more flat red paint.
I was gonna bob the fenders but after I put it together to figure out where to cut them, I changed my mind. Anyway here it is.

Yeah baby!

I love it! I love those old "Space Race" bikes. They make awesome rats. I love the flat red accent idea. Makes it stand out. They do ride great don't they?!

very cool...I've always liked those style bikes and the chainguard is sweet!!!

The chain guard is one of the best parts of it.

 

[aka_locojoe]

That's great.
So is there still a headlight in the tank? Any photos of the front and top of tank?

 

[ultraclyde]

SCHWEET chainguard! I really like the red, too. Did you brush stripe it or mask-and-spray?

 

[seca40]

Thanks.
No it doesn't have a light or a lens. No switch console either. I plan to make an l.e.d. setup for it when I can collect the parts.
Here are some pics of the tank.

Thanks Ultra. The chainguard I did with a brush. The red on the dropouts were masked and sprayed.

Nice build. As Kev said, "the details don't go unnoticed". Very nice job with masking and painting. Thanks for sharing.
