Basically together, minus a little tuning and adjusting and adding some reflectors. Went with the white import seat as again this is a "cheap thrill"(LOL) had a set of brighter sparkle green Schwinn handgrips I have been looking to use on something so I gave them a shot. Staying Fenderless like...

Nice work, turned out great!

Some assembly pics,

Ok, got back to her yesterday. Finished sanding and got the first coat of paint on the frame after the primer. First pic shows sanding completed Second pic is after first coats of the heavy glitter paint...

The was a Hardware Store Krylon Spraypaint product, the stuff is cool in a shaded area or low light it looks campus green, in the sunlight it looks more lime green. Started assembly I will post some pics in a bit.

Looks great, the forks are awesome!

Badge looks great, whole bike is really coming together. Glad to hear your parts are out of customs on on their way, had a steering wheel for a project car sitting there for like 3 months before it finally got released.

Keep the chrome it looks good like that with the disc. Nice accent! I took a rollbar for a buggy and some engine parts straight from the sandblaster after blowing them off to the powder coater and they came out fine. Have not heard anything else about special prep for that.

Thanks, the paint really laid well. Shot it in my garage, was going to work outside but Mother Nature said No Way. Will need to build my painting station inside again I think when I shoot "The Wraith" weather getting to iffy and the leaves are really starting to fall now. Worked on the decals...

Cool project frame, I say use the blue guard it's a Iverson I think and looks good. The forks look great, Awesome build so far!

Thanks, Here is a couple pics of the now painted frame and guard, the forks are also done but not in the pic. I went with a bright metallic green, pic does not show this very well. But it does look good, in the sunlight it looks more bright and in the shade more like the old Schwinn Campus...

As I said in my other post I must be a little Nuts to start a second bike, but I am like a kid with a new toy and when I get a good deal too, I cannot help myself. So about 4 weeks ago I went past a local bike show and swap and came upon this December 65 Stingray Frame, Fork, And Guard combo...

Yesterday, I stripped down the bike and started inspecting the parts for wear and correctness. Being this is a 66 I would like to keep as much of the original parts on the bike as possible, provided I consider them good enough to cleanup and use. No need to pull the tires and tubes yet as they...

Sorry to see you go, ideas were cool. Hopefully you will find time on a later date to get back to it. I just commented tonight on how little I have done a month and a half in.

Looks Awesome, you are making nice progress!

When the deadline to complete your bike pushed out to January, I thought wow that is a lot of time I will never need that much. Ha! Was I wrong, here we are a month and a half in and I have gotten little done but my Chainguard. Time to get to work! Progress coming very soon, I am planning to...

Thanks all, yes the Glitter paint is a challenge but I thought what the heck it's for fun and I wanted something different. The frame will be a process I am sure but I am hopeful the end product will be worth it. Seat may change, saw on on EB** a couple weeks ago and waited to long. It was a...

Great concept and the whole thing looks like it will be just awesome. You hit it on the head when you said muscle bikes they just don't build them my size, same here! I have a couple old Manta Rays and they are a blast with the 24" wheel. You have built some super cool big bikes before, looking...

Here we go with the fancy language, he, he! Cool build project looks like it should be a real head turner when done, look forward to the future updates!

I was posting the pic when I accidentally hit the post button the same time my IPad autocorrected your name had to do multiple fixes. All good now! Turned out well.
