Hanging in the old paint dryer. :21:

Sure thing man. Let’s do this. :thumbsup:

It’s pretty warm. And a bit of fast reducer I should be ok. Or I’ll be assembling it with wet paint. :bigsmile:

Stripped down. Guard masked. Gotta do a little more prep, then it’s painting time. While that dries I will gather up Parts and get them shined up.

So, it’s been a very busy year for me and my family. Usually I would have started the mbbo on the day it started. Since I couldn’t, we are going to try to do the entire build this weekend. It’s going to be 75 degrees today. That should help a lot. The beginning.

Daaaaannnng. All the cool stuff pops up right after I spend my allowance. :doh:

See ya next year. (Hopefully before)

It’s a bit of both. :grin: Being 6’2” on a 20” bike will either make the bike look smaller or the rider bigger. Either way it’s a blast to ride around yelling and singing through the tiger siren. :bigsmile:

now that the bike show is over and my mini X1 peewee bike is finished I might have the time to toss my hat in the ring.

Thank you. All of my bikes stay pretty well locked down. I can’t remember if I got that bell from you or not. I must have bought 4 or 5 before I got the exact one I needed.

Yep. It’s a 20”. Built it over the last year. Tried to make it as close to the original as possible.

I saw this on the web. Maybe it’s a sign. :nerd: Also found this. Says it comes in BIG and PEE WEE. Dang, now I gotta get the big one. I had the most fun building this bike. It was very hard to keep it a secret all year. (Had to tell a couple folks who helped me find/build Parts) Thanks for...

Almost there. Still have to make rear fin and detail the chainguard. Fin installed and ejection seat post built and installed. Almost ready for the show.

Exhibit C. Smaller scale I built of the horn Peewee picks up at Chucks from Dottie. A few more correct parts picked up from a friend. Made a fin to display my Smoopys sticker on.

Starting to look a little closer. Skirts painted and installed. Rack on. Wheel disc painted. Fenders on. Looks better already.

Tank buttons and badges. A little paint on the bags. Chainguard painted. Surfboard and boomerang mocked up.

Bags shaped out of foam insulation boards. Mocked up with tape. Proportions seem pretty good. In the old pear tree paint booth out back.

Starting to look like an X1 now. Tried a 24” girls tank. Close but not close enough. A little detective work and some tips from a friend. I find a tank!!

The delta horn that would soon become a Light. Gutted an old flashlight. A bit of time with the dremel and some parts from Turbofrank and it getting somewhere. Finished Light. (I must have broke those fins off by accident at least 6 times before the reveal)
