Re: POST PHOTOS HERE FOR THE GALLERY PAGE

Can I play? Frame is a woman's Huffy that I bought for $30 and scavenged for parts to use on another bike a while back. Paint is the factory color. I just stripped all the decals off.

Would look like this:

That's definitely a cool bike-ever drink the beer? Electra bikes are usually pretty decent quality. I'll second the over-tight hub.

Got word from the painter that the striping is done!!!! I'll post pic's tomorrow after I pick it up. :D

Thanks, the patina is the result of a home paintjob that was poorly prepped and time. I just wish it had just been left the original seafoam green though. The reason t's so solid is it spent most of it's life under cover, and it hasn't been driven around on muddy rural roads or during the...

Koolmungous is a 64 longbed. Ugly as sin, but runs like a Swiss watch and doesn't have any rust. What you see in the lower front that looks like the typical C-10 fender rot is bondo filling a dent.

oxy-acetylene torch and a wire brush is good for paint removal.

:D :D :D :D

Re: BOOM BOOM Mama Love Here's a couple shots of the bare frame. the color is a baby-blue flake. The pic's dont do justice to the sparkle. BOOM-BOOM Mama Love likes sparkles.
