    Life is calming down a bit, so I should be able to jump back in the saddle and get this completed before the month is out.

    Scrambled Eggs - Finished

    If using the crossbar, what if you did a number plate with the mesh screen technique you used on your last build. However, instead of the rising sun design, you did teeth like open jaws (or flames for that matter).

    Alright, I'm back. Finally got the tire mounted for a test run of the zoetrope. It works, but my phone doesn't have a fast enough shutterspeed to showcase it. My wife suggested recording it with the slo-mo function, so I'll try that later this evening. Meanwhile, here is the first test run:

    Thank you @Pondo . We'll see how it looks in action.

    Alright. Both sides have a matching completion, so I am going to hold off adding any more flourishes until I've had a chance to mount it and spin it. I almost pulled off the spacing uniformly on both sides, but goofed on 1 spot. However, in keeping with the theme (though unintentionally)...

    Ok, the main outline of side one is complete. I will be adding some more color to the mix, but the zoetrope animation is finished. Starting side two... though it looks fairly simple, this is a combination of stencil (for size/spacing uniformity) and freehand (paisley tails) so it is a bit...

    I had grand plans to do a zoetrope graphic on the hubcaps of my last build. Plans and aesthetic shifted on that build, so I didn't end up doing it. Well, this build will be the one. Going to try and incorporate a zoetrope into the design of my whitewall graphics. Wish me luck!

    Hello Party People! I'm back in action. Received my rear slick in the mail. I'm running a DURO 20 x 2.125 whitewall slick for the rear. Still debating on a 20" or 16" for the front. Because I am retaining the original paint and decals on the frame, I have to find ways to add flourishes to...
