spongebrush. and either the spray paint you used to paint the spokes with or use some oil based rusto. the sponge will fall apart after some use but it lays the paint on nicely. no brush marks. if it's a small touch up, the torn end of a paper match works wonders. if you have any can handling...

i'll go for the crate kid too. he wanted a trophy. maybe it will motivate him to build a real knockout.

Re: Hot Rod Hoedown in Phillytown (9/11) WE'RE IN! the friday september 10th pre party has been moved to jacks twin bar in gloucester city, nj at the corner of broad and market street. just take the market street exit off of 76! uber easy to get to! there will be plenty of bands, booze, and...

haha!! nice to see you matched my car to my bike! even cooler to see one of my builds out there in the bike lineup. definately a nice little get together. a great chance to match some faces to the names and talk bikes. i'm sure i'll have something different to ride by the next one!

i'll be there as always. such a great show to hit up for the cars and bands alone. i'll be recruiting on the bikes to show up as well. theres always been the odd few kustom bikes humming around the show in the past, but this could be the year to be noticed!

ah. i forgot the chainwhip/ strap wrench thing too. i used an impact gun cause i could. there's no need for the whip when you use one of them!

thats what it was. i knew i had the name wrong. i've been to phelps but never got a chance to play in there. i heard it gets wicked when a storm rolls through.

oh snap!! thank you very much rms37!! a ton of information!! much appreciated!! this site rocks.

the helmet wrap job doesn't look too bad. a tartan or houndstooth fabric, and the addition of a brim would have made it look just like a cap. the old tweed paperboy caps are probably baggy enough to squeeze a helmet into. it's worth searching the thrift stores for one. if the law doesn't...

i picked this one up on a craigslist lot o' parts purchase. it had a colson 3 hole/oval chainguard on it, but after searching pics, i'm thinking it is a war era bike. it looks like the ones used in the service. (roadmaster?) all the other look alike frames have different dropouts, and i had no...

hit the caps lock button to the left of the keyboard. haha....

ah. sawyers shop is about a mile from my old mans shop. small frickin world. i miss being down there in a sort. i had too much fun out there in the albermarle! do yas all hang out at that giant state lake?? whats it called?? mattamuskeet?? it's really shallow, and gets some wicked waves when the...
