sweet lookin' ride :thumbsup:

Wow O.J.....quite a compliment coming from the Rustmeister. Dammm, I always wanted to be in a sorority..:bigsmile: I can't count the times I've perused your builds and thought "I've got to try it"....to think I may be a Jr. Rustmaster ... humbling. :happy:

As a former resident of both Maine and Nantucket Island, Mass. for 30 years, I understand totally Duchess. Living in New England...and also (Pennsylvania) was the last time I bought Bondo in Gallon cans. :happy:

oh yeah...sanded the paint till it was dull...first thing you gotta do...get rid of the gloss on the paint.knock the color down a bit

save your old nasty rusty vinegar that you used to soak some parts in..add peroxide twice as much as vinegar...add 'kosher' salt...and the rest is above..salt and mist with paint when it's wet. Then add a bit of odd job's paint rustification method....Ive got it down now, but it took a whole...

NICE RACK. As in aged to perfection. :happy: So here's that old space age type rear rack I got on aution on E_bay. Great Seller, fast, wrapped well, and boy...was it ever RED. But I love the look and the fit is good, with just a few mods needed. Since we're going back in time...I dove...

Or you can just make one. I sometimes cut off one arm of an old one piece crank...jam it down into a seat post...weld it in...weld on a sturdy brace, this baby isn't gonna bend . :happy:

I like this bike Clean, nice swooping lines..a simple bicycle with just the right amount of flair that makes you want to hop on and ride..OR, just look at it. One of my faves.:thumbsup: franco

Don't laugh, those orange horns are hard to come by. Last time I was at the Dollar Tree they were all sold out....;)

When I lived up in South Carolina...I had a big yard, I wasn't into bikes then...but fixing up , restoring cars, had about 6 cars in the yard....all of my woodworking stuff out back set up on a 20' long table so I could lay out big projects. Two boats under construction in the house, one in the...

Short...because you want to lay the seat back some? I can understand that...course, if you stretch it any further, you won't be able to turn it around.....in the garage. :happy:

all of this motorized bike stuff is way over my head but...I sure am enjoying watching the progress on this build great stuff. :thumbsup: what a cool looking bike, and..yeah, I third the natural patina

clean build like the front end...and the color and striping are you freehanding the lettering and graphics? that's one sharp looking bike. :thumbsup:

That is something wild....I'll tell ya at first, I thought you were going for a cargo bike, but it seems like just cutting and randomly placing steel here and there is going to lead to a VERY interesting project. Neat. :thumbsup: franco

OJ special textured is in the back pocket...savin' that for the final touches :happy:

I haven't messed with powered bikes yet....at my age I need any exercise I can get.....:happy::happy:

Oh yeah...probably use some 3/8" brake line, rust it up and figure out which bend to use. The Murrays from the era had that wicked bend in the front, attached to the bottom of the fork tube....kindof looked like a front rack...or, take them up to the top of the fork, not sure. Still have to...

Scored this cool rear rack on E_bay...cheeep. another no name rack that is old and fits the era....a little scraping sanding, and special sauce, and I'll blend it right in with the rest. :thumbsup:

2/3/'16 One bike I don't mind leaving outside...it looks better every day even if I do nothing to it....:) Here's where we're at as of today..... :happy: franco

Ratting at is most basic...lovin' it. Mounting the rusty fenders from the old Cranbrook to the Murray. The fork isn't really accurate for the time period I'm shooting for, but it's going to work out. Front fender had a hanger , but no hole on fork stem to hang it from...so, low effort drill and...
