Okay, is it alright to say it now? Congrats man. Nice work. Hopefully our rides will grace a calendar together, lol

Thanks a lot man! I like to keep them simple. And by simple I mean sweat every single part, nut and bolt, lol.

Thanks man. Much appreciated!

CongRATs, everyone! Good picks!

Thats what I hear. So far I've tried wd40 and pneumatic oil they last less than a week where I live. Need to pick some up and give it a scotch bride bath. In other news, you're killing it, TRM! Congratulations, the bike is more than deserving. I think you're the only one that's going to beat...

VWs AND boats? You're a glutton for punishment, lol! Says the guy with three trucks a 59 Cad and a '60 Glasspar!

Thanks man. It was hard to cut them down- I guess they're going to stay on this one permanently!

Thanks man. Former Long Beach neighbor Jesse James used to call some builders "cake decorators" and I guess it stuck. There a few things I will do to this one still but for the most part I like to keep them simple. Let the vintage parts and little details speak for themselves. I showed my lady...

Thanks man! I like the way it all works together. I all started with the fact that the brazing is all over this thing instead of just in the joints. Played off that and here we are! Looks like you're killin it, BTW!

Thanks! It was a fight to the finish. I have to remember to finish at least one day earlier so I can shoot a little later!

Thanks man!

Much appreciated, man! I think I said the same thing back in BO07, but it's always nice to hear from those who's builds I appreciate the most! All the Monarks this year are killer! That's some tough competition!

Wow! The finished bike collage I just saw on Facebook looks awesome! Congrats to all the finishers. But it made me realize I've been planning to vote for about 8 bikes! Tough decisions ahead!

Wow! Just saw the collage of finished bikes posted of Facebook. The Shelby looks great in the top right hand corner, lol.

Thanks man! Appreciate the kudos! We'll see how it does. I'm just glad I made it to the finished thread, lol.

Haha, thanks man! That's all elbow grease! No clear. Living by the ocean means it will need some serious upkeep!

Here is the build thread in case anyone missed it. http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/the-12-year-project-bare-bones-bare-metal-barely-in-the-finished-thread.98454/ A quick rundown of the parts, too: Frame was determined to be Shelby- 27-28ish Monark repro fork stem...

Well, I think I made it- Half an hour early instead of half an hour late like last time I entered. Had to shoot too early since it was the last day but I think everyone will get the idea. I'm going to go ahead and publish this now! Thanks for looking!

Nowhere near the craziness of your build! That's a deco masterpiece! But thank you. Hopefully at least a few people are into the bare bones, bare metal board track style!
