Looking good so far.

Every good rat starts somewhere. look forward to your build.

Back from second page slacker status. To many 12 hr shifts in a row. I finally got the rest of the paint to give up on the frame. I can't find good aircraft stripper i have used in the past. So slow it is. On a positive note all i have left is the tank, front forks, and a chainguard if i use...

Strippin ain,t easy baby.

Thanks for sharing it. I have a set of vise grips modified I've used with a small torch. The more leverage will certainly help. My wife would be disappointed in me if I didn't bring a new tool or two home every week.

Well thanks for showing that tool. Now something else I have to make. The wife will be so proud. Loving the progress one this ride.

Love this. I just got some new grips that were a little to shiny for my likes. I wondered how paint would stick but hadn't tried it yet. That dead flat clear is my favorite. Your grips look great.

A little slow going right now. I'm still trying to remove the thick house paint but making progress. In the mean time i've been pulling parts out and putting a plan together. I've had these fenders for a while waiting for a cwc to put on. These will get a oa bath when the rain lets up. No dent...

Great design. It has the rat rod style.

Still digging out parts while i'm working on getting the rest of the house paint off. I've had this springer hanging around for about 3 years . If i remember correctly i had a heck of a time getting the bars into the bracket. As usual i've misplaced the acorn nuts that went on there. No big...

Man i love those wing bars. I'm glad you are not polishing this one like a mirror. I never really noticed the difference in angles but that springer part does a great job visually. Looking forward to the progression on this one.

Can't beat a ratina looking dx. First bike i ever ratted. Sold it right after i finished it. Still regret it.

Started to pull out parts while i'm waiting on the paint stripper to do it's job. I picked this tank up from Chris Fagen a cwc guru. It is missing a horn button and has its share of dings i can work out. I'm on the lookout for a button and screws to fill the holes. I did pick up a horn unit at...

Breaking out the heavy d.

This could get interesting.

Always wanted to build up a 3 wheeler but the thought of carrying one downstairs to my workshop hurts my old back. Looking forward to see how this build goes.

We all know this is gonna be a good one. Glad to see you back in.

Awesome oldie to start with. I'm sure this one will be a eye catcher when your done with your magic.

Great start. Nice patina going on here. I'm a big fan of using higgins parts on other bike.

Great start. I love those monarch forks.
