The rust that is there is cancerous, but not structural. Someday I may go for the full resto but not anytime soon. I should be bringing the car home Thursday or Friday once I get the replacement title for the Chevy. After that this thread will be put to bed and a new thread will be started. The...

The badge is not a repop, but not original to the bike. porkchopbmx.com bought up a bunch of NOS badges. I held on to it until I got the bike and the colors were just "right".

Thanks. I had forgotten about the old coupes! She has some rust on the rockers, hood, and on the panel under the trunk lid, but the floors are solid as is the trunk floor. I plan on doing the bare minimum to the body. I have a heavy duty upholstery sewing machine I have been itching to take for...

There are quite a few bikes that seem to make the rounds. Glad it is in your capable hands. Can't wait to see the newest incarnation!

They did offer these in as a taxi. Been doing some research and found that at some point it has been repainted. Original color was Raven Black.

Well I am done messing with the truck. The "new" motor that I was told ran good when pulled has a bad knock down deep. Three days after installing the motor the wiring harness fried and I had to rewire the entire truck. Rather than pouring more money into the pit I decided to cut my losses and...

I have decided to save my pennies and buy a porterbuilt crossmember rather than Z the frame.

It has been a while since I've updated the progress on the truck. Well because until a few weeks ago I hadn't done anything. Here is what has transpired. I was driving home from taking my daughters to dance class when my temp went into the red and the exhaust was blowing a smoke screen that...

I was a bit chilly in the house today but all my hoodies were dirty. A trip back in time finds me in my grandfather's Smoking Jacket. Sporting my RRB shirt as well. My '34 Rollfast frame set behind me. Fully restored and awaiting inspiration.

Schwinn offered the kickback on several of their light weight bikes so it can be done. The three and four cross refers to the number of spokes any one spoke crosses. There are several spoke calculators online that can help you determine the length needed. My LBS has a program on their computer...

Re: 9th Annual Midwest Bicycle Fest (Ratrod Raffle Bike) Door prizes? We got 'em.

Somebody's been digging way back! I had forgotten about this thread. I'm still lifting airplane parts on the graveyard shift. Gotta love a job where everybody has to look up to you. :lol:

Re: 9th Annual Midwest Bicycle Fest ($1 Raffle Bikes) Have a Rat Rod Bike? Bring it out. Don't have one? Build one! You may win this awesome Rat Trophy.

The Schwinn 27" tires are the same as the rest of the industry 27". Their 26" S6 tires are in a class by themselves.

Grease the bearings and oil the disc pack.

This is the first year that there are not three bikes that just jump out and speak to me. It isn't that there aren't cool bikes this year, just not many to my taste.

Doesn't look like I am going to be getting my pic. :( With over 12" of rain in the last 2 weeks (3" last night) There isn't a trail that I want to ride at the moment. Not to mention my stoker and photog are not keen on playing in the rain. If we ever get dried out I will get a pic for giggles...

Open invitation to anyone who would like to join us as we get our Build Off 8 bikes together for some pics and a couple brews. Figured we could join our Coasters BC brethern on August 8th for the usual pub pedal. Meet up at the Shamrock Lounge at 7pm. See ya there!

SRAM used to be Sachs I believe. They had a couple auto that came mostly on folders as well as their Duomatic kickback. I haven't ever ridden an Auto, but I would like to ride one just to see what the buzz is all about.
