Just came across this old post. I was looking for "taildragger". Didn't think to search "street sweeper". Nice looking bikes.

That's a Hi-Lo isn't it? I have one too. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

My 1980 L82 Black/Black Corvette. Had the whole front end rebuilt after a head on with some fool texting and driving a Mustang. The truck is my daily driver F-450, th' Beast.:)

The direction is still up in the air, but I am working on a few ideas. Made this taillight from some odd stuff. The housing is a brass monocular the wife got off ebay a while back. Turns out it fit perfect with the idea I had to make a tail light using a crystal door knob as the lense. At first...

Well, beings as I had planned on putting this thing together for the wife anyway ( viewtopic.php?f=21&t=55298 ), I guess I'll throw it in the mix. For my first build off I'll be starting with the '56 Ladies Huffy I found in Houston.

deezenuts, thanks for the bump. I have one of these in the shed, so it was of interest to me. Little did I know what I was in for when I started reading it. Couldn't stop till I read the whole thing. Awesome build!! Looking forward to seeing the finished ride.

Thanks for the info. The year is just one of those nice to know things. Not like I'm gonna restore a valuable original or anything, lol.

First time posting a build/rebuild thread here. I'm hoping it keeps me motivated to get it all together. Posted a few weeks back about how I came across this frame in Houston and planned on putting it together for the wife. http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=54487 Plans are...

Well, I was guessing '56 cause of the first digit in the serial number being a "6" and the head badge being "Huffy" and not "Huffman". Either way, I just thought it was kinda cool to come across it.

Yea, I might try and talk her into keeping the paint the way it is. But it's by far no prestine example with a high collector value, so it's not like a changing it is going to hurt it. She is actually wanting it "rattier" then it is.

The wife came home and mentioned that she came across some bikes at her friends art resale/repurpose shop in Houston. One of those places that peeps donate stuff too that others can buy and repurpose in some form of art. Someone recently donated some bikes that they started parting out. Next...

They way you constructed your truss rods is very resourceful and looks great, but I have what might be a dumb question. Since I have never ridden a bike with truss rods, I just don't know. Do they actually do anything?

Just came across one on Ebay being sold as a Western Flyer Hi-Lo. I guess this is what mine use to look like back in th'day.
