Looking good! Gotta love a naked frame!

She's been doing a lot better but still needs to build her strength back up. It will be a while for her to heal but she's heading in the right direction. I really appreciate all you guys prayers and support.

One piece at a time... I went looking through the van to see what parts I could scrounge up and I found two sets of pedals, a crappy plastic set that came from a 1980's low end bike and another set that came from some kind of BMX bike so I will be using this aluminum set. Also found another chain so I can splice two together and make one that is long enough.



Also in unrelated news I went to see my mom at the hospital and I realized it must be really nice to have a doctor's salary. The white is a bit plain for my taste but it still looks like a fun car to drive.

Progress will be slow for a bit, my mother came home from the hospital today!

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Must be good to have her home!

It's good to have her home but it's a lot of work. Running on no sleep right now.

Well I won't be using the aluminum pedals... I was trying to fix a small bend in the pedal and it broke. So I'll be going with the plastic ones I found which are decent enough to use even though they are '80's vintage. Still kinda bummed about breaking the aluminum pedal though. They are still usable but it would look bad.

Just wondering... Are we the only two so far that are doing Klunkers this year? There were a lot in RRBO8.

 

[outskirtscustoms]

And both being bare metal. I'm not sure if ours are the only two, I haven't had time to keep up on each individual build but I'm sure more will join in the fun before it's over.

Well someone overheard our plan for Klunker world domination and "Checkered Flag" is now Klunker #3 in the build off.

There is always room for one more in our plan...

Klunker Minions! Sounds like a good street bike gang name!
