I had yesterday and today off with nothing to do and no money to spend. I thought I would practice my very poor welding skills. I wound up also practicing my very poor bondo and very pooor rattle can skills.
I started with an old BMX and borrowed the front wheel from a kiddy bike I had hanging around.
First I extended the fork.
I quickly realized I would need to extend the frame as well.
I welded in a seat post clamp and did just enough grinding and bondo so I could spray it with primer. I added a few bandanas and just need to get some more chain. This is probably a good bike for me to practice my very poor pinstriping skills on.
