Oh, and by the way, that's Mister King Rat to you
The build thread - http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=75&t=72534&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

This is NO WHERE near what I had originally planned for this build. I had lost some interest and drive somewhere along the way, and thankfully my wife's newly found enthusiasm (http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=75134) rubbed off and got me rolling at the end. What really turned the tide and rekindled the build was the sanding of the frame and finding red and white under the blue top coat. So, it's 10:30pm here in Maine and very dark outside. So here are some pics of the completed bike inside the house. I am planning on taking some nice outside shots tomorrow afternoon and hopefully have them posted before the end of the day.

So, here's where it started. A lonely bare frame hanging out in my basement for about 14 years.....



And now.........





















There's a few bits I wish I could have fine tuned and/or replaced, but all in all I'm pleased with the final result.
 
What a fun wheelie monster that will be!!!
We need some riding shots from your test engineer.
Congrats buddy!
 
Very very nice!
