I am going to caution you on clearing that panel. My lettering enamels don't play well with most clears. Great looking guitar. I missed your performance last night, I was sound asleep at 8:30.:mad:

I can't vote, I'm a bit biased.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't, it depends on my mood and what I want to see as a final design.

Unless you know what the plastic/acrylic piece is made of so you can match the paint, it can be very difficult to get it to adhere. It will usually stand up to average wear, but not masking. If I could be sure that the Metalcast would have stood up to masking, I would have liked to put that...

I can't believe this, but I'm thinking of painting the trike white. I've been drawing graphic ideas for the tank and fenders with no thought of the frame. The design I have in mind work with a white frame and allow just the right amount graphic work to tie the graphics on the tank and...

The house has central air conditioning, so it stays nice and dry in the basement. If I do see any light rust forming, a light sanding usually removes it before adding the filler. The pic above are taken outside because I was sweeping up the sanding dust and needed to move the trike. While it...

More filling and sanding.

Those little creatures are very cool! Do they ever talk back to you?

I did the grinding, sanding, and a little of the filling. Trying to figure out how I want to paint this thing. I better get my butt in gear, time is running out!

I vote for a chamber in the collector to hold a smoke bomb! It's pretty hard to emulate a car using a bike, unless you use parts from the car. I think you did a great job making this actually look like a Gasser.

The frame is stripped down and ready for some grinding, sanding, filling, and painting. I ground down the spacers that were used to make the cable guides, followed by a coat of JB Weld to use as a filler. They look much better than just straight tubes. Another one of those pesky spikes...

That red is over the top! That and the chrome trim set this off beautifully. I love this bike. What did you use for the chrome trim?

My crystal ball thinks it sees an unboxing video in your future.

You both just gave me an idea.

So I wasn't done welding. The start of my trailer hitch, 5/16" rod end, fender washer (ground to fit the frame), and bolt. I'm not sure if I will use the rod end on the trike, or the trailer. I have to see what a can come up with for a post. Whichever looks better with the trailer...

That's why I planned a decent size back window.

I sure hope this crankset works OK, I spent over 3 hours sanding the black off it so it will match the front wheel colorwise. I also didn't like the "mountain bike/ 3 bearing" lettering on the pedals, so I sanded them off. After all the sanding, I cleared the bare metal on the crankset to keep...

From page 4, post #72, I'm beginning to think I should have named this "Spyke the Tryke".

The vinyl for my seat showed up yesterday, White flake for the insert, and black. Now I need to track down some foam.
