    :)How about a Rat Rod trailer with an old leather suitcase or nice retro metal cooler . I think that would look cool with a couple of 24x3's All the above might be cool on a trike too!

    :D Thanks 62, but although it is functional this is still a mock-up. It will get broken done again for paint (primer, re-1st post) and a few other mods, and maybe the handlebars off my Triumph (on the English Rat thread.)

    Okay guy's, this the battery- a7.2 volt RC car rechargeable You could even mount it in a tank and just have the pigtail hanging out for recharging. Just get the matching female connector and add it to the headlight. These are the two things I use to hold the batteries...

    :) Well, I ripped it apart. Just threw some parts on to start different mock-up ideas s. The brakes should be good , that's a Shimano 333 three speed w/ coasterbrake. The red wheels sound great, but I gonna try these for now. (budget) You know I think my knees would bang on those Ardun...

    :P Well maybe not tomorrow but soon! I know it's not real old but in Canada there is not to many old cruisers like you have in the USA. What I like about these Norco's (I have 3 ) is 24x3 tires fit the frame with no mods. I'm guessing this is late '70'S or early '80'S. The plan...

    Powdercoating, Powdercoaters

    :) Welcome Garath, it's been my experience that you can powdercoat aluminum. The only problem I heard of is a thing that they call " outgas". I don't think it is very common though. Sorry can't help on a powdercoater.

    Painting aluminum rims?

    :) Thanks for the input aka, I was going to try a budget spray by doing the whole wheel and maybe just mask the axle off. It's going to be a Rat BMX, I think you just did one. Thanks!

    English Rat

    :) The brand is a Triumph, wish it was the motorized version. The braking power is really good, almost scary good. Check out the old valve stems , the threads go right to the bottom like a presta valve.
