It's Dupli-colour Vinyl Spray paint.

I really appreciate when someone takes the time to write a comment about one of my builds. I get so much joy out of building these and the fact that people like what I'm doing is priceless. Thanks for the feedback. I'll be here in this forum for a very long time!! Now..... patiently waiting for...

Well, I checked the weather. I finished the bike late Friday night and the forecast for Saturday was cold but sunny. Despite staying up late to finish the bike, I got up early to catch the sun before I had to pick up my daughter. I drove to on of my go to spots since I didn't have much time to...

Well, For the love of building bikes, I have stormed my way through this build and I'm hoping to start a second if and when my frame gets back from paint. Thanks to @Cheesy for the heads up on a bike in MTL that had a nice set of bars for me. I was able to have another buddy grab it for me and...

Love that tire!!!

That’s cool. I want to do a Firestone bike at some point. Just bought some grips yesterday and have a couple Firestone tires. This is a cool frame.

I love this drawing. Reminds me of my days in design school studying industrial design.

Good question. Probably a few hours just peeling the squares on the mask for both attempts. It’s certainly an exercise in patience.

After finishing the seat, I decided to build a custom sissy bar back rest to match. I don't usually put back rests on my bikes because its hard to find one that matches the seat colour and the shapes and sizes sometimes seem so bulky and out of proportion. I decided to start with an mdf base...

Thanks Man!! Can't get enough of it!!

Moved on to the cranks. No problem here. I have many to choose from. I also have a ton of decals ready to go for this one thanks to the stash I got from my buddy John. I have head tube decal, seat tube decal and the checkered decal that fits the front fork behind the front brakes. Also have a...

I think I made the decision to go 26" on the rear for this build. A couple things solidified my decision. I generally like a beefier tire on the back end of a muscle bike, but the 24 x 2.125 Tractor grip just seemed to chunky for the size and feel of the frame. The second thing that did it for...

Got the seat wrapped today! It’s been a while since I did one and it went way smoother than I remembered. I use a spray adhesive I bought from the upholsterer and it works really well. I also splurged on a handheld grommet press a while back. It also works wonders. I bought the longer neck...

Welcome aboard Bob. Glad to have a fellow Canadian builder and friend join me in the build off!!

Hoping the get to work on the frame shortly, but in the meantime I’ve been playing around with the idea of a custom vinyl checkerboard seat. Some CCM’s came with stock checkered seats, most notably the CCM Charger. There are even some wacky wavy checkered seats. I have a piece of screened...

Yes!!! It’s a longer frame than my other one.

I actually started a thread for this build in the summer for the Rat Rod Build Off, but the only thing I had a chance to do was mock up some parts on the frame. I was waiting for the frame to come back from powder coating and it never did. Therefore I'm picking up where I left off. The idea is...

Bump

I'm all warmed up and have two frames on standby. I just finished this bike last weekend. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I wonder if I can convince @CRASH to join? He should be warmed up as well after finishing a super slick SLINGSHOT!!!!

I actually have some frames ready, and just finished a build that would have been a nice entry for this. Any date is good for me.
