So, my wife looked over my shoulder while I was admiring the Brooks seat/grips and said, "that would be a nice seat for my bike...." I replied, "you don't have a bike yet." She said, "what about that one you keep bidding on, on Ebay?" DOH! THERE GO'S THAT SURPRISE! Great build...

Last night we were able to get all of our bare parts hung and little man took a shot at his first paint job. All in all it turned out pretty well. We were hoping to sand down a few mishaps today and do a little touching up but the rain is moving in so it will have to wait. I know this flat...

Thanks Luke, the ride is 100 times better!

Right on Luke, hey LFD...I have been looking at forks for my Victory Cross Country and this is what I was reminded of Maybe like this except OG red with flat black....

I couldn't afford a Harley and settled...but would not even consider a Harley now that I have owned the Victory. The F100 is very similar to my grandfathers old farm truck that I grew up in. Just a note, he is gone now but would definitely not agree with me lowering this one! HAHA

Yea Craiggo, my son and I took the truck/bike to get some pizza this evening and I was quite surprised at the attention the bike got. Every stop light had people pointing and staring. I thought it was great, I love to see cool stuff while driving around town but my son got a little embarrassed...

Thanks LFD, that 70's Schwinn build in the build forum really has me thinkin...things do look better in three's!

Testing the APE look for this bike and remembered I had some Victory motorcycle bars hangin around...

1957 VW 1966 Ford F100 (with 66 Columbia) 2012 Victory Cross Country The neighbors say I have too many toys......."YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY TOYS!"

Another VW saved, thats great to hear. 20 years ago I bought and saved a 1969 bug that was broken down on the side of the road. The PO was kicking the driver side door as we pulled in behind him. And, today I finally got that 57 Oval that I wanted so bad... FatBoy, did you notice the license...

Thanks alot Roly, somehow the excitement even got into my wife and she asked to take it for a spin today! Oh yea, and I wondered what some apes would look like and I remembered I had a set of stocker Victory Cross Country bars that would give me a good idea. Here she is strapped into the F100...

Man that green reminds me of my GT Interceptor I had as a kid. Hey Roly, I started a build thread for the 66 Columbia...let me know what you think!

First off I would like to thank diablo67 for providing us this starter project and rgallen for the inspiration to bring this bike back. My history is with motorcycles and antique vehicles, but not bikes. This all started when my son (10 years old) saw this bike at rgallen's parts store and got...

New to RATRODBIKES.COM....picked this up tonight and we can't wait to start this build! However, not new to aircooled VW's....here's our 57 OVAL window at Sonic! I was not surprised to see this thread in a bike forum, they just mesh!
