An old Sears Roebuck ! Neato. Great job so far. I'm sure she will love it!
 
It looks real good, I think she would like it and you put all the work in it which makes it so much more special than a new bike.
 
Really nice!!! So much better than a new bike.
Color combo is great, I bet she´ll love it!
How old is she? Reason I´m asking is cause the older she is/gets, the more she´ll appreciate and treasure this bike.
Unique custom bike built by your dad... PRICELESS!!!
 
shes 12yr's old and she picked out the colors she wanted

as far as progress i took the old seat apart yesterday top pan was shot so i'm on the hunt for a seat with a good pan now found a set of early cross-braced torrington that the chrome was shot on so i painted them white ill put some pics up later got to re lace the front wheel tonight and find a set of tires would like to find a cool set of pink balloons for it but i might be doing white but i'm almost done
 
Oh she will definitely love this bike.
Those pink look good, but I vote for the white ones, I think it will bring more balance to the hole look.
 
well its almost finished i have the seat in the garage recovered it in a hot pink glitter material all im waiting for is tires (thanks to wildcat) they should be here this week sometime and i still have to paint the front wheel doing that in the morning and i will post better pics at that time im just hoping she likes it as much as i do!!!
