I found an amazing deal on a set of Coker tires today (not from Coker) and I also picked up a matching 16" rim. :D http://store.cokertire.com/tire-styles/bias-ply-tires/blackwall/600-16-coker-classic-blackwall.html

The only problem with using those spin on adapters is that you have to use a rear hub on the front and have to spread the forks a lot to get it to fit. I made some 16" disc wheels with those adapters a while back, I used a standard rear hub on the front and a flip/flop on the rear with a disc...

I got the back patched up but every time I feel like I'm making progress I keep finding more bad spots. I'm fine with a few pinholes here and there because I want it to be somewhat ratty but I also don't want to drop my wallet through a hole in the floor while I'm doing 60mph on the highway...

I think they both look good but it really depends on what kind of bike. I don't want to see a pre war Elgin with 8" hydrualic disc brakes front and rear and a 9" travel DH mountain bike just wouldn't look right with drums.

The KZ is now on its way to its new home. :cry:

I'm not going to paint the outside but the inside and the floors are going to get a thick coat of rust stop black paint to keep the rust from spreading any more. So far my plans are to fix the brakes (they don't work at all), find another 16" wheel for the left rear because it has a 15" on it...

I got the front seat out so I could get a better idea of how bad the floors are, rusty 70 year old bolts are never fun to get out. There are a couple spots under the back seat that will need replacing and the drivers side under the front seat up to the pedals is pretty much ready to fall apart...

I found a huge old AM radio in the back seat that is stamped MOPAR but I don't think it went in this car, it looks late 40's early 50's and there's no evidence of it ever being mounted on the dash.

Projects help keep me out of juvie :wink:

It runs and moves but it needs some brake work and some decent tires before I'd actually drive it.

After searching craigslist heavily for the last couple weeks I finally found a new summer project! I picked up a 1941 Dodge Luxury Liner with original running 218 i6 flathead, fluid drive transmission and suicide doors. It has some rust but hey, it's a 70 year old car that still runs and I bet...

Your 440 has that mexican blanket seat right? Props to you for that, but I had to steal the idea. Mexican blankets look good on everything. :wink:

For most bikes MIG is fine, like Fatboy said wirefeeds are cheap and usually easy to get. If you want to start doing high end titanium roadbikes TIG is the way to go, it's more expensive than a wire feed MIG and it's also a little harder to get proficent at but you can lay some super clean tight...

I would use #3. You might be able to fix the first one with a rubber mallet or use a piece of wood and a hammer to beat the dent around. I've had motorcycle rims like that and have had good luck fixing them. :D

Kilz is a type of paint made to block mold that is super durable. http://www.masterchem.com/masterchem/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=62de90033f9ff110VgnVCM1000008a05d103RCRD

I like the last design, the 26" front and 24" rear gives it that motorcycle look and also makes it look a little more proportional to the rider. 8)

The Kilz method is supposedly one of the best ways to make whitewalls. I know some hotrodders who painted their tires with Kilz a few years ago and it still looks good. They prefer it over actual whitewall paint.

Finished up the intake and got the carb on.

Everytime I look at the pictures I see something I didn't see before, it took me 15 minutes to make this post becuase I kept getting distracted by the pictures. 8)

Awesome video, Awesome tunes 8)
