Speedometer housing turned into a light? Brilliant absolutely brilliant.

WHAT NO DUCT TAPE HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? :!: :?: Thats ok with all the other work going into this it would be a shame to use anything other than a cool home made mounting.

Couple things come to mind: 1 Make sure the surface you are coating is clean dry and if not bare metal at least scuff the old paint 2 Prime clean bare metal with etching primer, if rusty use a rust converting primer (rustoleum primer for rusty metal) (in either case: 1 light coat 2 medium coats)...

Does this count? Before: After:

Well the frame is NAKED :oops: .... Here is what I found while stripping the paint today... I was using a wire wheel chucked into my electric drill, that I clamped into my work table (kinda made a redneck bench grinder/wire wheel, but it works) and the house paint was coming off really easy. I...

Well whats wrong with a rat? Isn't that the whole point of the site? :P Very nicely done, I like it and if it weren't for the original looks we would never strive to change em up! Good job

I have been stripping the paint off the frame today and may have found something a bit unusual....... I have sent a PM to 37Fleetwood to possibly get down to the bottom of it..... Might be wishful thinking but might be something VERY COOL..... I know right now I am teasing all who may read this...

A light would look cool on the front. But you know what, that was a easy but smart way of moving those fenders simple is the best way at times. and Yeah I agree paint the brackets red and nobody will notice that they were an add on unless they are really looking over the bike closely. By the way...

Re: The Huffman Build you don't want to miss(*DONE 2-11*) Your Huffman is done before mine :cry: Yours looks great and that chain guard is very cool Job well done

Alright I got back out to the garage and found that my plan worked the degreaser loosened the crud on the parts and everything came apart nicely. Took the fender and the kickstand off.... Took off the crank and sprocket.... My biggest fear when pulling the crank apart was that I would find a...

Well its that time of the year when its cold and tax season is upon us and I don't have any work to do, so I get a day off :? That means.... catch up on some stuff I have wanted to do for a while, including finish stripping the frame...... Will post pictures of progress soon but for now...

So a team that doesn't exist anymore? or is that a subtle way of saying your team moved to Tennessee and you will be rooting for the team thats in your conference?

Still bitter about those losses?

What's on your tailgating menu at home? And who's your team for the big game? Swedish meatballs, bbq lil smokies, and chili cheese dip Go STEELERS! (still sad my Bears lost)

Ok now that I find out you already have a rat style in this frame I vote to clean it up that way you have the best of both worlds. I still am not crazy about that many spoke but oh well. Clean it up ride it enjoy it and if you are in the mood for a ratty ride then take out the other bike. Also...

Like it low n rusty but too many spokes You could do away with at least 50 of em per wheel

I like the home made truss rods :D But why not a springer for the front :?: Not matter what lookin cool

Lets see I've got the frame, I have a place to sit and pedals to transfer leg power to the rear wheel. Which brings me to my next thought for this bike- The last time I owned a bike it was a 21 speed mtb. You get a little spoiled with all those gearing combinations and I decided I wanted...

....the hip bones connected to the leg bone, the leg bones connected to the foot bone, the foot bones connected to the...... uh oh I don't have any pedals!!!! Oh well back to the site to see what I can find :lol: Oggy had these sittin around and they were the right diameter for my crank arms...
