And by the skin of my teeth it’s finished! Here for your consideration is my late 60s Huffy Dragster. Built from humble beginnings.

Assembled the drag fork from a ‘kit’ that needed repair and welding.

Painted as close to candy apple red as I could get with Metal Specks and Metalcast, in my outside paint booth under the deck.

Built in the driveway and basement depending on the weather.

The drag forks and the custom sissy bar with the swinging peace sign really set the tone. The color scheme was chosen to complement the beautiful seat. I built the cool dice pedals about an hour ago. Lots of fun in this one. I absolutely love this bike!
