that ring is threaded and will come off the same way as the top nut..usually a pair of waterpump pliers or vice grips used gently will do the trick..the brace ive never see as a seprate peice qiute like that its usually a welded part of the fork..but from the look of it i would guess it goes...

looks like an isuzu pup with rodeo fenders..guessing its bagged and posably body droped considering its on the ground..17" or mabey 18" rims??

..just went and picked up the can today and realized i told you about the wrong one :oops: ..its the rustoleum metallic engine enamel in metallic copper #257388 :oops: ..i sware i wasnt drinking :lol: ..i really like the way the bike is turning out and cant wait to see finished pics

RustOleum makes a flat high temp orange part #248905..ive used that and the matching high temp clear part #260771..its so close to the schwinn orange that it will make you sick :mrgreen:

i did one just like that almost a year ago..minus the one sided fork..did the rear hub pretty much the same way..but i did change to normal bike tires and mine does have handbrakes because i didnt have a cruser hub at the time...love it and looks like a great bike

well im glad to see somone on here got that tank..i wanted it but it seems like every time one pops up i dont have the money..im working on pretty much the same exact bike right now..yours is looking good..gotta love a clevland welding frame

its still around..just got out of focus with renovations and christmas of corse..but you can look foward to some pedal scraping..suade coverd..burnt orange coated goodness..hopefully sooner than later :mrgreen:...woops...did i just give away the color im going to use.. :wink:

you can paint plastic with krylon fusion black is avalable in flat, satin, and gloss. all you need to do is clean it really well with dish soap and warm water let it dry and spray it. i usually run over the part real quick with a green scotch brite pad clean it again and then spray..but it works...

ive got a small update i was able to get the seat recovered lastnight..at work..nothing like getting paid AND geting to get something accomplished. Me and the wife went walking the trails near us and found $30 and a bike :mrgreen: ..not together..nothing special just an older huffy mnt bike but...

im hoping to get some work in this week i have thurs-sun off from work..but im pretty much kicked out of my house :( (renovations) so nothing may get done..eaither way i should have more pics buy the weekend

funny you should mention bike chain..i was actually toying with the idea of making the handle bars out of link chain..but i think i will save that till i can really weld. I was going to go with a mexican theme..and i may still if i can find the right kind of "mexican blanket" material for the seat

yea thats what its going to get..i really like the short bars..but they will keep me from being able to pedal. Im actually in the middle of cutting up about three sets of diffrent kinds of bars to piece togather something "original". Im also not compleatly sold on the banana seat. I hope to get...
