Finishing touches, get a grip, or two, a little more rustification here and there.., mount the 'battery ' box which fits under the seat . and it's good 'nuff to go. Here's a couple of additional views. one cool thing that I didn't even know, is that the rear light stays on for about a minute...

And..after all of that rusting and waiting, today, I finally put a chain on it..made up a coaster brake hanger..greased up all of the bearings and rode it around. Happy to report it's a nice smooth ride..a couple of creaks and groans here and there..but no rattling, :happy:it's pretty tight.

Found a cool old front light, and a tail light, that I had in my vintage stockpile. Got them mounted and most of the wiring tucked into place.

Superb touches on that old Dodge..:thumbsup:..is it a Power Wagon..looks like it?

That's one great lookin' trike. I like the unicolor paint job with no decals somehow, makes it look leaner and meaner :thumbsup:

Man, that's a beauty O.J. what a strong looking ride... It doesn't really 'need' the guard..the way I'm looking at it. So I'd ride it re: guardless :thumbsup:

I see where you're headed..looking good. these Westports/Montereys , same frame, are a great start to almost any mod..aren't' they. Always keep a couple around..:happy:

live in the parsonage, that's neat. do you build all of your bikes there? you're quite inventive. I was voted class clown in high school...most of the kids thought I was funny , but I was being serious...go figger. :happy:

Now that's a burrito , brother. A burrito with everything Hey..I watched that vid, and was wondering, do people in the neighborhood know you as 'That crazy bike guy" or just 'That crazy guy"...:bigsmile: Love it :thumbsup: franco

Paint looks good Luke, :thumbsup: Glad you're feeling better. Maybe you're inhaling too much of that 2K clear....that's potent stuff. franco

yeah, I think i read where odd job used acrylic paints..like craft paint..they don't stick to the pants....which, of course..would be what we're after here...:)

Getting there for sure. Made some brackets to hold the rear rack on, it's nice and sturdy. I think I'll add a bit to the rack bottom stays to slide it up a little more level. The seat is comfy...but I'm not sure I like it black. Wanted the top and sides more of an old faded red and white...

Today, had do dream up a few fids here and there...the ends of the fender stays were just chopped off short...so I had to add a little steel extension..measure each side for where they connect to keep the fender centered crimped them around and welded them on...

Got a chance today to do a little more on the Monteratt. Been busy fixin' up regular bikes for reg'lar people..:happy: I got this comfy old rubber top Mesinger type seat from an old Roadmaster which was also the donor for the front tire...added a little xtra padding....
