Yep, I agree about the mags, we'll see. "Wolfy" short for Wolfenstein, is a 1941 Chevy pee-cup. Chopped 5", channeled 5", Pete & Jakes 5" drop axle/shocks,1936 Chevy Master grill, 6-71 blown 350, twice Edelbrocks, tb350 trans/shift kit, 10 bolt rear end. Rollin' on Astro Supremes and cheater...

(NOTE) I know this is a simpleton project in comparrison to most of the bike wizards here, so if you're still following along, thanks, I appreciate it. I have the skillset to do far more 1-off customization, but that will be for other projects. May switch up the game plan here. I'm not sure if...

Looks great! Did you polish to a mirror, or? My original plan was to polish the lips. However, It dawned on me later that this is a freewheel hub, so I'll need to use a cantilever brake. That being said, I don't want to take the time to polish just to have the rear get all scuffed up. It'll send...

I wish I could find someone making tall sissys these days. My buddy has all kinds of bending equipment at his shop, but none of the dies are small enough to make one, or I'd do it myself. I had one like this when I was in 1st grade on my Royce Union 20" back in '71.

Just discovered tonight that the seat post tube i.d.=7/8" and my tall Schwinn (style) seat post o.d. =13/16 . I tightened it until the split was pinched closed (not in this pic), it was still moving. Guess I'll need to get a Wald seatpost shim or make one. In case your wondering, the seat post...

Thanks. It was brand new in the box with original packing. Guy pirated all the parts off for another build.

I saw a $1,100 Schwinn seat on e-bay this am. Even $300 is too much. ***edit*** $1,300 Cant make this stuff up: https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-SCHWINN-1970-s-ORIG-ORANGE-KRATE-STINGRAY-BANANA-SEAT-DISC-BRAKE-MINTY/254575759201?hash=item3b45e5cf61:g:8YIAAOSwxHpeny71

Ive seen a ton of those backwards forks ads on Local Offer Up haha.

Thank you, sir.

Do you have larger pix? Really dig this!

Parts are slowly trickling in. Thought I'd share my experience looking for a stem, or gooseneck which ever you prefer to call it. I looked everywhere on line and they all sell the same junk. Most have exposed welds in the clamp area, cheezy twisted stuff for low riders, or you have to use a BMX...

Funny, that's what I don't like about them. Actually that and the color. I'm going to refinish them in a cast gray color so they look like 60's magnesium rims, torque thrusters, etc. I did a quick photo-chop rendering.

Yeah, I know resurrecting an old thread. But someone will be searching for info about these some day.... Mine will be pained soon along with the rest of the project. Already removed the reflector tabs. Love doing this kind of work. I wish I could weld as well as I can grind. That's actually...

Man, that purple! I was a drummer and had a side business in the late 80's-90's recovering drum sets. I wish I had a picture, but in the early 90's I was playing Hollywood/Los Angels/San Fernando Valley clubs in a band called C R A S H and I redid my drum kit in that exact same color for a...

I vote clear panel, already a lot going on and makes it look like it's floating in there.

Looks great!!! I love everything drag race related. I have one question. When you striped with the black, why not separate the flames like one of these options:

Not much progress today. I'm still trying to decide on bars, sissy bar and a seat. Looking for a vintage, but not too roached out 18-19" banana to take apart and have recovered by a friend of mine who has an upholstery shop. I'll repaint the pan while he's doing that. So, in the interim I...

Looks like a comfy mile cruncher with style. Well done, I actually dig that frame.

Next I mounted up the white walls (Slick/Brick) and made a roller out of it for mock-up. I'm giving thought to adding a Schwinn vintage factory truss rod brace to the forks, too but I'll needd to figure out how to shorten it up a couple inches, or make new custom size rods....Hmmm??? Here's a...

For the wheels, I wanted mid 70's Moto-Mags, but at $700-$1,100 a set minium, I had to use the next best thing. No, NOT plastic Tuff Wheels, mid 2000's Mongoose Star Mags. I located a '07 Mongoose Rebel Air for cheap and pillaged it for the rims (I may make a cool lowrider with the frame some...
