Another Rat Rod Lowrider

[SkidMark]

71 Schwinn Stingray, neck raked and stretched 8", tanked w'teardrop cutout. Kustom dropout plates. The Wald springer, stem, and handlebars were $5 at a yard sale. Bendix Red Band laced into chromed fake Araya 7X rims. And of course my favorite Mexican blanket upholstery. Jet Black paint is brand new and still tacky.

Sounds nice.......But no pic showing!

Cut the neck off, flipped it, bent some 1" tubes, made internal sleeves from a Schwinn seatpost, and pounded it all together. Had someone weld it up. Spent hours grinding and then filing the welds. Took a piece of 1" thick particle board and cut a teardrop shaped hole in it and attached it to the frame with bondo. Applied more bondo, sanded, repeat. Blocked it with 100 grit, then primed it and blocked it with 220. And today I painted it jet black and took pictures. This is the first "kustom" bike I built, back in San Diego about 8 years ago, it's finally "finished".
