Love these strobing LED's I bought! Did a light test to see how they'd look but can't get the video to upload.

Bearings regreased, fork, stem and bars installed, wheels, tires and Dana in place. Still need to get the new shifter location done. Bars are apes but not sure if they'll stay yet. Grips are being cleaned. I'll post pics soon.

And plus I want this one to be a real simple Rat Rod Bike. Maybe something a young person would look at and say "That's cool! I want to build one!"

That is killer! I think if I had more time I could probably have done it. Weather here has not been cooperative for outdoor work. There's always next year!!

After doing a little more sanding and cleaning today, I decided that it wasn't going to get any better without removing too much of the original paint. Soooo.......natural rust it is!! 1st coat of boiled linseed oil is on. The lighting doesn't show the red as rich as it really is right now.

I looked at what I might have laying around, but only have newer Shimano stuff. Once I get this one apart I'll be able to hopefully salvage it and reuse it w/ some 57mm hoops....:113:

Ok....thanks! I'll look that up

What's the actual technical term and/or name for the part, seen at the bottom of the pic, that's threaded onto the axle for the shifter assembly? I want to try to find a replacement but have no idea what its called. Shifter Thingy didn't help out much on Google...

Have a photo of the badge outline?

I've been looking all afternoon and can't find another like it.

Can't tell if the badge is there and/or under paint, but the loop frame is kewl!

Has the same shape and graphics design.

I got this sweet chain guard from another member awhile back. I'm planning on using it very soon and am curious to what the rest of the bike may have looked like. This is where you all come in.... It's hard to tell, but the outside is a light metallic green. Buut the inside is a seafoam...

I think the SOS pads, Scotch Brite pads, scrubber sponges and I will be spending a lot of time together in the very near future.

I think what I'm going to have to do is clean off as much as I can by hand and very carefully. I want to keep any factory paint and markings I can.

Yeah.....out west or up in Alaska. They both need it!!

Nothing to report for the past week or so. Been busy with the house. Air Conditioning doesn't work, water heater quit heating, and all the rain we've been getting flooded my basement. Not to mention the friggin' ants everywhere since they got flooded out of the ground! I'll get back at it...

That sounds like something my Uncle would do too. I spent my summers on his farm in high school.

I hope so. I really want to keep the skip-tooth on this one.
