It's not a real badge, I sell counterfeit badges on eBay to pay for my dial up internet and AOL subscription.

UPDATE 2

Put about 6 hours of work into the frame today :shock: Sanded mostly by hand but some with the wire wheel. Still not done sanding so I'll have to finish next weekend :wink: Also sanded some of my chainguard too I need to get a new stem because the wedge is missing, it may have disintegrated :roll: The fork is beat up, but I have a secret for it 8)

This came out when I took the fork off :|

That's not intimidating, that's just plain scary.
Of course only one person has the 007 badge for BO7

Re: ★★ Hot Rod Deluxe ★★(UPDATE 2)

I'm looking forward to seeing what tricks you pull out of your sleeve on this one

Re: ★★ Hot Rod Deluxe ★★(UPDATE 2)

You should be able to find a wedge for that stem pretty easy unless you just want to get a new stem.

Cool chain guard.

 

[SCHWINNRAY69]

Re: ★★ Hot Rod Deluxe ★★(UPDATE 2)

Thanks guys! Really appreciate the feedback :wink: Can't wait for summer so I can work on the bike everyday instead of just weekends 8)

 

[SCHWINNRAY69]

Re: ★★ Hot Rod Deluxe ★★(UPDATE 3)

UPDATE 3

Worked for another 3-4 hours today. Sanded more of the frame and got my fork mocked up. Because the back part of the fork had some heavy dents and twists in it, I completely eliminated it. Looks good like this 8) The wheels and tires in the pics aren't what I'm using.
Let me know what ya think! :mrgreen:

Fork before:

After and on the bike:

Sanded the frame/fork more:

Check this out 8)
