I would go with just GOODYEAR or spoof it up like Dave Deal and go with GOOD

Cut the bridge off.
Going to move the bridge up just about an 1/8”, but taking up a little more room by setting the mount higher.
Set it and tacked it.
Then set and tacked the tab, then added a fender bolt through the hole and takes that in. Will give a cleaner look.
Next is to finish out those welds and smooth it all in.

You know, “Foreshadow” would have been a cool name for this bike.
Interesting turn of events. As you know, this bike is being built to complement some show trucks and cars. A truck he is having built will be complete in July. This is the engine:
So this may affect some of the aesthetic of the bike. More to come…

I may be delayed…. Can only work in the morning on weekends.
I’ve had to focus on my other project so i don’t have much of an update. But this accessory came in, which will be cool once I figure out the mounting.
Unfortunately I don’t think I’m going to make deadline. I’ve lost too much time to the heat. I finally bought a swamp cooler, so we’ll see how that works in this 100+ degree heat. It’s supposed to be 113 next Saturday.
Anyway….
Had to cut off and fabricate and weld on a new rear fender mount. It was slightly off from our first attempt and I couldn’t allow that. So it’s done. The frame was looking rough because it’s been a while since I had it sand blasted.
So I took it to work and smoothed it out. I also took some time to smooth out the welds which weren’t done with the greatest of care.

And I dropped the shifter internals at the chromer.
Oofta! I thought it was hot here. Frame is looking good!
I know what you mean about losing progress to the heat. It hasn't gotten as hot here in DFW or back home in Tulsa, but I just can't handle the heat like I used to. I might even have to drop out of the Build Off myself, or switch to a project that I can work on in smaller doses during the morning.
Glad to hear you're still making progress though! Can't wait to see that Huffy come together!

Sorry for the delays brother. I can relate to the heat, but ours is a moist heat. But at those temperatures, it just doesn't matter. Hot is Hot!!!
Ugh
