Wow... those bunnies are scary! Anyways, I have the original fork from this frame, but can't use it because it has a bad bend to it, and I had the fork I cut the top off. I really didn't want to throw them away, so I cut the top off the other one and bolted them together. Now you're...

Stop!!! Hammer time! Sorry. Cool lookin' build so far!

So I'm trying to decide on what elements I could add to this project, then I find this at a garage sale for $5... It wasn't one of the things for sale, but like always, when I go to a garage sale, the first thing I do upon entering the garage is look up. I asked the lady running the sale if it...

Ok... back at it. I really want to use the front wheel I found, so I thought of a way to attach it to the frame, like a 'normal' fork. I knew it would be too short as is, so I came up with an idea for an extention. Take a fork pipe and cut it off.... Fit it into a good piece of pipe... Add the...

I've always wondered... If this is supposed to be a Rat Rod style of a build off, why are people going out and buying new tires, rims, seats, handlebars and other parts to build their bikes? To me it's more of a build with what you got type of a deal. Painting and customizing existing bikes is...

Re: Shakedown This looks like a great project! Good luck on your build! Like the car emblems.

Not much progress... Using a rear wheel off a 24" Hiawatha, and the front wheel is something I found at a garage sale a few years ago. Musta come off a motorized scooter or something. Now to figure out how to attach that on...

Re: BonniRocket I was just referring to how you keep you're parts on the wall for easy access. No diss... My parts are in totes, boxes, on the workbench....

Re: BonniRocket Yeah, that Firestone is cool! Those are the ones I like to pump up, then ride around. BTW, nice organization skillz!

A hopeless unknown 24" cruiser. Anybody know the make of this one?

Ratina, you were right. I couldn't see anything on the left dropout, so I started scrubbing it with some steel wool, and numbers started to appear like a lottery scratch-off! J870054, which I believe is September 16th, 1958. I got the info from the Re-Cycle web page. They also stated the feather...

I got this a couple of years ago and I'm interested to know what year it was made. There is no serial number anywhere on the frame. I took the crank out to check that, saw the AS & CO, a 2 and thats all I can make out. Any help would be great.

Went to the garage to start disassembly of my lady rusthuffer. My daughter and her friend followed to see what I was up to. They saw me wheel the bike into the garage and asked if they could help. Sure, but I'm just tearing it apart. Can we clean it? It's kinda rusty. Can we scape the rust off...

Hey all. Haven't been on the Rat Rod site for a while, so I checked it out and see a build-off has started. Cool! This bike has been sitting by the side of my garage for over 2 years. I got it from a guy in Wisconsin along with a few others about 3 years ago. Pushed it outside to make room. Put...

Starting with this sorry-looking Pixie that's been parked against my garage for awhile now. Have no idea, but plenty of time with my work hours being cut. But hey... whadda ya do? Build a bike! This should be interesting since I'm not a fabricator and the only thing my wife has seen me weld is...

Thanks, Joey! To me, that's as good as a vote! :D

After going to the 'vote here' page periodically and finding the same result, I've narrowed my conclusion down to 2 possibilities: 1) Not too many of my fellow bike builders are Metallica fans, or B) I gotta step-it-up on my next build!!! :lol: I had a great time with Blackened! Can't wait...

That's a great score! Even has the metal lisence plates! Cool bike!!

Wow! Too many cool things to point out! My favorite part during your build thread was the sprocket, but seeing it done, I gotta go with the severed finger valve caps! Good job!

I finally had time to complete this build, and I didn't think it would happen. I had the main part of the bike built, but I had some extras I wanted to add to the bike, and I knew I wouldn't have time for posting every little detail, so I added them and will briefly explain them. The headlight...
