Some awesome craftsmanship on that tank.

Here's how it sits right now. The basic weathering is done but more on the way. I'm far from done here.

By building model airplanes. :)

Sorry, I've been sick lately and the crappy weather has kept me indoors today making prints in my darkroom. I should be good to continue this week.

Looks like it was originally made that way. Great conversion.

Nice clean job. :thumbsup:

That is one sick build.

This is insane. Great work. Love that full wrap front fender.

Great looking ride, love it!

Love the ghetto weld idea. Nice project. :thumbsup:

Fantastic job indeed. I would have begged to ride it in 75, :thumbsup:

Started to do some weathering. Although nature will take it's course at some point, it doesn't hurt to help it along. I use to do this when building models and it is quite interesting to do on such a "big" scale. You need some brush, oil paint, gloss and news paper, lots of thinner. I actually...

Oh that is such a good idea! Definitely a huge maybe.

Most probably this symbol will end up somewhere like the "saddle bags" when I figure out what I'll be making those out of.

So got real busy today. Managed to paint the frame so I can have my canvas to start putting it back together. I used bail wire as a back up for my McGyver bolt job before I taped over it. Now the fun part begins. :)

Great save and very well done craftsmanship.

You're close to the end of the season. Check out box stores or even Toys r Us for bargain basement priced bikes. I've done this a few times. Also, if you want the original finish in semi flat, cover the whole thing with a satin clear. You have a very solid base for your project.

Car Bait 1 had a fatal frame failure after more than 4 000 miles of hard riding. It was a 1965 Hungarian light cruiser never built for this kind of punishment. It is sorely missed. The speedo was originally in MPH but everybody knows that metric is a lot faster! :) Funny thing is, I checked it...

So I took most of the bike apart this evening and got to see how it held up. Turns out thanks to the old build post being dug up I was able to figure out the real mileage of this thing, 300 miles. I say it's a good reliability test. Apart from a few non-critical loose bolts, it held together...

Ahuntsic...near Pont Viau. :)
