A few projects of mine...

[johnny nightwolf]

Here are a few of the bikes that I've finished. Sorry about the photo quality, all I have is a camera phone. Hope you like them!

'49 AMF Roadmaster Luxury liner. Bobbed the rear fender, deleted the front. Bondo and flat black on stock bars, everything else is as found, I love the rust and patina on it.

'58 Columbia frame was a rusty basket case missing cranks & bars when I got it, so I got rid of the fenders and chain guard, added a re-pop monark springer & 19" apes, tan vinyl seat & grips done by me, and now it rolls on 24" redline tires.

Late '60s Murray Wildcat musclebike. Paint was shot, so it got flat black w/ purple clear and metal flake from rattlecans. Getting white sparkle seat and grips to match better, and it'll be done.

More & slightly better pics of a few of my bikes:
The Roadmaster:

Closeup of the back fender: the angle matches the one on the (deleted) front fender

The Columbia:
I tried adding a gel pad to the seat for comfort, because originally it was just tan vinyl over the metal seatpan. It came out terrible, I can't get the vinyl taught over the seat, so its getting redone with just foam. Don't hold the sloppy workmanship against me, its just temporary!

My red Spaceliner, I haven't started cleaning it up yet (the chrome one is all apart right now):

And, because I can, here's a few pictures of my Wildcat in its 90% complete form (I'm waiting on whitewalls and white grips/seat) and a Stingray Fair Lady I just picked up off ebay. Hope ya like them! Decided I hated the first paint job I did on the Wildcat. Went with purple base coat and metal flake top coat instead. Much happier. Let me know what you think!

Unfortunately, all I have at the moment is a broken camera phone to take pictures with. Soon as I can get my hands on a cheap digital camera, I'll have some good photos! Promise!

Got a few scavenged parts on my Columbia now:

The headlight is off a Royce Union girls bike, and I'm building a bracket to mount it lower. Should make it look a little better. I don't know what the chainguard is off of... Anyone?
Also, got my Murray all done:

And, an in progress Huffy girls bike for a friend of mine. Need to do the bars & rims black & put a black seat on it.

neat stuff! You know I gotta see more of the SpaceLiners

By the way, I've been meaning to ask you, what part of upstate are you from? I grew up in the Binghamton area but spent the last 6 years in Rochester. I've got family in the Syracuse, Albany, and Lake George areas too.

I'm in the middle of cleaning up my chrome Spaceliner frame, and trying to figure out what to do with it... but I'll have pictures as soon as its presentable... The red one is all original, but it's missing the plastic lens for the tank and the wiring is shot. I'll get some pictures up soon, hopefully buying a decent camera next week. I live in between Kingston and Woodstock, 40 minutes south of Albany.
