    My first "rat rod" bike

    Pinstipes came in today. Twisted Chrome (twistedchrome.com) makes these stickers and has a huge selection on his site.

    my first cruiser

    The headlight's made by Nirve and you can find them in black or chrome on Amazon. I have one and sprayed it flat black to match my bike. The light only lights up about 3ft in front of you but it's pretty bright for on coming traffic.

    My first "rat rod" bike

    Nothing special, just a headlight that came in the mail today. I have two more parts I want to buy but there's problems with both. First is a springer fork, but it's hard to find a painted one with a 6"x1" steering tube. It has to be painted because it's going to get sprayed flat black, and...

    My first "rat rod" bike

    I decided just to leave it blank and stain the wood. Here's some recent pics. If you notice, I put a piece of wood inlay on the chain guard and added an Army surplus medic bag to haul books and things around with. I also cut a new wood piece for the luggage rack. Some pinstripe stickers and...

    My first "rat rod" bike

    I actually got my luggage rack sorted out - I cut a new piece and stained it. I'll get pics later. Also, today I took off the wooden gas tank and stained it. Then I found a Rat Fink font on the interwebs and made a name for the bike. Which one do you like best?

    My first "rat rod" bike

    And as promised, new pics. I'm going riding later today with friend of mine who takes pretty good pics so I might have some even better ones later. The grips are actually foam, but they're too cool I'm on the fence about that luggage rack wood plate; maybe if I made it fit better with...

    My first "rat rod" bike

    Bit of a bump but I've been messing with it lately. Up until this point I've been at the local campus of my college, but this semester I'm moving to the next city over to the main campus so I've been focusing on the bike more since they won't let you drive from the dorms to class. The bike's...

    Banana seat & 26" bike

    Hey guys. I'm trying to find a seat/bar combo for my 26" cruiser bike. I've done alot of searching around and I think I've ironed out all my confusion, but I would like to post up here to confirm everything. See, I'm going for this look: See how the seat sits as low as possible and the bend...

    My first "rat rod" bike

    Needs some handlebar grips and some final pinstripe detail around the white accents but other than that it's pretty much done. Maybe a banana seat later....but I have $400 worth of Miata parts laying around so this thing's on the backburner for now :cool: I fit/painted a piece of plywood for...

    Surface Rust

    Well it depends, In my last project I had a lot of surface rust on some chrome pieces. I just sanded it and it went right away. Then I finished it up with some Turtle Chrome Polish, which has rust remover in it. For the frame and other non-chrome pieces I just sanded it away and carried on with...
