So I am posting this as done!!! I was contemplating on adding the fork darts and I appreciate the opinion of the board but I'm cutting costs here especially since the darts wouldhave been 2/3 of what I actually paid for the bike itself. I had a great time thru the hole process and feel like my...

Re: #HOP - Fork Darts or No? Chime in here.... So My bike is basically 90% done but been thinking of adding a pair of fork darts to shout out the AMF heritage. A vendor I have used before was able to replicate them but not sure if a vinyl graphic will do it justice. Here is the fork as it sits...

Re: #HOP - Tire Rub Q??? Thanks for all the feedback guys. I think I got it basically had to resort to caveman tacticks. I took a heavy monkey wrench handle and pressed it where I needed to dent it then hammered the hack out of it. after got it where i needed to be I smoothed it all out with...

Re: #HOP - Tire Rub Q??? So probably shouldhave thought of this one earlier but my 1.95 slicks are rubbing slightly on the frame. Aside from new smaller tires (like the look too much) whats the best fix? I could either grind the frame a bit to make it work, try and dent the frame? Any help...

Re: #HOP - Got Paint? Was able to catch some nice weather and got the frame all painted. it came out nice considering this is my first multicolored paint job. I even tried my hand at some makeshift pinstriping. Its decent but long ways to go... So far I have been having a blast on my own...

#HOP (seat slam) Managed to get the seat slammed with a little hardware store ingenuity.. I took a mending bracket and cut two plates out of it then took the stock seatpost and chopped a section out from it, added some nuts and bolts and BOOM seat is slammed and were sitting back and low how I...

Re: #HOP (Headlight Gut Job) So I got to gutting my headlight and tackling some electrical work today. Keep in mind when I woke up this morning I had no clue what I was doing but a true Rat Rodder will find a way. It all started with removing the old contents then wire brushing the rust off of...

Re: SSV#6 Two Face(hoops and fender) so you did end up making the sacrifice looks good...

Re: #HOP Did not see anything on the wheels but aslong as we know pre 62 thats cool with me. Which also makes my bike 20yrs older than I am. I did get everything stripped and it fought me the whole way. A few bolts got cut off. F bombs were dropped and the blowtorch came out to get off the...

Re: #HOP Just picked the bike up today its sweet cant wait to get cracking on it. The SN on the rear dropout is U228839 and it doesnt look like a 1939. it has a bendix red stripe rear hub and peaked fenders. this help give an age? The set tube sticker does in fact say little rock.

Jeff thanks for the Ross was able to score some other parts cheap from Bigcam and the other to make a whole eventually after my buildoff. Great meeting everyone. Now time to throw out those soggy socks...
