Gotta love the image of some kid back in the day painting his Bonneville salt flats numbers on there.

Cool starting point and I am glad to see there is still a bicycle seen in Fremont put thousands of miles on my bikes around the city way back when !

I will try and gather some parts and pull it down today after work , for some clearer pictures , still kinda in my attack plan phase right now , I think laying out the parts will kick start my enthusiasm for this build , thanks for looking

To arms, to arms.
You are one up on me, you have a build idea, go for it.

 

[socratesjpt]

Well it's all pulled down , started taking some green paint off it , lots more to do , I am going to take it down to original paint and clear it . I got some parts coming , nothing fancy my son should have fun riding it. Here are some picks , the left fender is what it looked like before and the right is the after




Seat needs some work too

This should be a big weekend to build so . I got some parts in

I am gonna build this siren in the tank , the do an led conversion to the head light.

I have been racking my brain for truss bars , here is what I came up with

 

[The Renaissance Man]

The barbed wire looks cool, but I think I'd take the time to dull all of the barbs for a kids bike.

yeah that is a big concern for mee too, thought about making some faux barbed wire out of copper wire , but this was free and i didn't have to make it

 

[The Renaissance Man]

Maybe you could make the barbs out of some softer material.

The fork looks bent back pretty far. You might need to check that.

 

[dracothered]

Put in a little time with a file and blunt the barb point, you will be fine then.
