️️️THUNDERBOLT️️️
️️️1938 HAWTHORNE ️️️
This is my entry for the 2024 build off 19. I started with a Wards Hawthorne frame that had many layers of paint and quite a bit of rust. From there, I chased down parts and came up with a nice collection to build from.
Features:
* Custom made tank from scratch (made by me)
* Custom paint: Smoke Gray & Satin Apple Green
* 1930’s Elgin Skirts & Chain guard
* 1940’s rear fender (front fender flipped)
• Vintage Troxel saddle in white on a lucky 7 post
* Vintage Sachs Torpedo 3 speed hub
* Vintage Shimano 333 twist grip shifter
* Vintage Beehive Springer
* Vintage lucky 7 36 tooth sprocket on 70’s crank
* Vintage white pedals
* 1970’s Huffy cruiser handlebars & vintage stem
* New Wheel Master rims with 12 gage spokes
* New Ralson nylon off-road tires 26x2.235

Thank you for for checking my new ride out!
