Looks like a hearse bike, you should take some pics at a local cemetery! Definitely a cool bike! :thumbsup: LOL

found this at a local pawn shop guy said he'd take 40 bucks I need to go back and get it!!! Looks like it's all there, any idea on age didn't check for numbers.

Here is my last minute entry, we had a few nice days in January and February and I had some free time so here it is! The Green Machine! Sitting next to my friends 47 ford Rat look the sun came out . heres one in the sun. the green is really bright!

Okay here is the threat I should have posted here in the Build off thread. Up for your review is a 48 CWC Western Flyer I call the "Green machine" started out with this frame I got from a friend who has many great bikes to rebuild. \ Phil Marshall dated the frame to production during 1948...
