Re: Swingbike I primed it with ppg self etch primer then waited about an hour then I went over that with rustoleum filler sander. The instructions say it can be wet sanded after 10 minutes. I waited for at least 15-20 minutes before wet sanding then I added another coat. Once I got two good...

Re: Swingbike More paint problems. The paint job turned out pretty darn good but after it sat all night the paint wrinkled again. I'm done. I will just have to live with the wrinkles in the paint. Sometime in the future when I have more time I will strip the entire bike and repaint it with...

Re: OCC Army Stingray (Father/Son build)--We Have Color! This bike is looking awesome. I can't wait to see it done.

That's one wicked looking ride. With those big tires you could probably ride it across a pond :D

That's awesome!

Looks great. Your front tire looks aggressive :)

Re: Swingbike I finally got this bike frame painted. It turned out pretty good except the darn paint cans kept spitting paint on the bike. I bought two cans and they both do the same thing. Oh well I'm done. There are a couple little places where the paint spit on the bike frame but I can...

Re: Swingbike Thanks! I have two coats of yellow on now. Of course the can started spitting on me so I had to stop in the middle of the second coat to run down to menards to buy cans number 6 & 7 I got coat number two to look pretty good so hopefully two more coats and I will be done. Then...

Re: Swingbike Workin on this bike today. Trying to get it done but there's a higher power trying like hell to keep me from getting it finished. I stripped the lower frame back to bare metal last night. No problems there. I picked up another can of $20 ppg etching primer this morning. Went to...

Nice find. What color is it? Kinda looks black or green on my phone. Those seats are hard to find so you might want to try to salvage that one.

Re: Swingbike Well I thought the last layer of paint looked good but I found a couple little runs. There was light overspray in a couple areas so I decided to give it another coat of paint. Well the darn paint wrinkled. I spent about 6 hours sanding out the wrinkles then waiting for the...

Neat finds. Railrider on the musclebike forum has the tool to rethread fork tubes. He posts on here too but he is more active on the other site. Good luck. Pat

Awesome forks! Do you have a bike for them?

Re: Swingbike The part I ordered for the dremel Friday morning came in today. Thanks Amazon and USPS! I also got the lower frame painted. It turned out pretty nice. I am happy with it. Now I just need to wait for it to dry then I can finally start putting this together.

Re: Full View-Bodywork Sharp looking bike. I like the wheel discs. They are a nice touch.

Re: Swingbike So I finally got to work a little on this pain in the butt bike project this past week. I had a few more problems. Go figure. First I shot a coat of yellow paint to the lower triangle. Everything went fine until I added another coat three hours later. Yes I read the can...

Nice bike. Please don't use steel wool on that bike. Steel wool ruins chrome. Try wood bleach or a good chrome polish.

Sweet bike. If you sell the seat let me know.

Re: OCC Army Stingray (Father/Son build) Cool build. I look forward to seeing the finished bike.
