Picked up her twin last year, 1971 Typhoon, Campus Green.

http://siclovia.org/ Sunday March 4th 10:00 - 2:00 I don't know anything about this. I heard it thru the grapevine and planned on going. Sounds like fun.

Some before and after shots of my CL find, 1971 dark green Typhoon. It still needs some decals and has wheel/tire issues. I was trying for a paintjob like the "Rollfast Controversy" http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=655. I used regular krylon instead of candy and it covered...

Gave the Typhoon a new paint job. Wanted to stay with green and found this Krylon spray bomb I liked. I tryed to paint it like "Rollfast Conspiracy" http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=655 with regular paint instead of candy. I primed it, then sprayed with silver glitter hobby...

Finally put the head badge back on. This is the front fender that came off this bike; It didn't come with a back one. I'd like to find a match to this or a different pair. Fenders would add more space for some pinstripe goodness.

I'm planning this technique on my son's 52" CCS Cadillac. I'm looking for some ideas to soften the break. Anybody have pics with pinstripping or decals between the 2 colors?

There is what looks like a skiptooth roadmaster in a yard that i want to check out, but I want to have my facts straight before I do. Where is the serial # located?
