Well I'm in
Glad to be a part of my 4th build off
and looking forward to all the cool builds, camaraderie and humor again this year
Here are my past builds:
RBBoff6 Hot Rod Liner, still riding this one as much as possible
RBBoff7 Jacked Up Pilot , My attempt at a Rat Rod bike (using gun bluing and Biggest&Littles)
RBBoff8 Shelby Path Racer, Finally the way I like now (Bare Metal and fast)
So now for something completely different...
As I get my 2004 GTO ready to sell (my first new car),
Thought about my Dad's first new car: A two tone 56 Chevy (he had good taste)
(A similar car courtesy of Barrett Jackson site)
So I bought this mid 60's Hawthorne a few years ago, it was my first tank bike
It's sat around too long and I'm trying to get some bikes built this year..
Found some seafoam green rims and after some of the really cool full fendered bikes last year
Decided I'd sharpen my painting skills and build a cruiser to ride to DQ with FIL
Not going to try and make the bike look like his 56 Chevy
but if I could have parked it by his car, they would have looked good together
Still have to take a pile of parts picture (and yes I'll but handle bars and seat on it LOL)
and I've got at least 4 other bikes to build in the same time frame
but I'd like to dedicate this build to my Dad, now 10 years gone.
Thanks for looking
Steve
