☣☢ VerBoten ☠ϟ - Elgin Twin Evanaction Build - Big Butt Strikes Again!!

[kingfish254]

Decided to play around with the top bar spinning turbine again.
I still have to work out the axle mount that would be hidden inside the shroud. This unit would float between the twin bars and can spin.

 

[The Renaissance Man]

Now connect a speedometer cable drive to it so that it will spin as you ride.

Here is a video of the turbine.

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

He would need a unit on both ends of the cable, right?
Now THAT would be cool!

No room to route the speedo cable here, but that does open up some ideas for future builds. I can't remember anyone using a speedo cable to run something else than a speedo before. Hmmmmmm.

You could put a chrome bowl under it and scramble eggs. Then run a generator to power an electric skillet and a toaster. Call it the verboten break fast Boulevard bruiser. Or just Dennys. But you'd need to cook ham or bacon too. Theres still time.

Thanks man, it's been fun to work and ride on this one.

Ever since I decided on red wheels and white walls early on for this build, I have been wanting to paint it turquoise.
Here is the test paint and a computer mock up. There will be white and red accents to. I am not using any fenders on the build.

A flat turquoise? I think a deep metal flake would just explode off this bike. Fantastic work thus far!

Actually it's Gloss Seaside from Rustoleum.


The other paint I tried but like as much was a Satin Sea Glass from Krylon.

I am a rattle can guy and I haven't found a good metal flake that I can get locally. I don't want to pay the Roth price and then find out I don't like the color.


I really like the metallic orange-ish Sienna Mist from Rustoleum, but I don't think the color would work with the candy red wheels.

Have you ever tried the rattle can glitter you can get at home improvement stores?
I really should post a pic of the moped I've been working on. The stuff comes in a bunch of colors,just put down a base coat then the glitter and clear coat. Wet sand with 30000 grit. Smooth and sparkly.

Here is one of the cars that I have been flipping back to for inspiration during the build.
1949 Delahaye 175 S Saoutchik Roadster

I love the turquoise with red wheels and whitewalls combo. It's similar to what I originally did on Chopster in the first Muscle Bike Build Off...

Definately my top colour choice for your build so far.

Glen.

Thanks, at least three RRBers have been in my courtyard when they have visited Savannah (@Dr. Tankenstein , @American Vintage Bicycle Supply , and @yoothgeye )

Took another piece of the portable bed spring steel and fabricated the rear guard brace.

Everytime I look at paint that Sienna Mist is the first thing I see, stands out big time

I know. It reminds me of Schwinn Coppertone. Someone needs to use it on a bike!

Based on bikes and courtyard, the Fish Castle is overflowing with vision.
