Caddilac bike

[TheFlyingDingo]

Well, I feel horrible about this bike. I bought it in the beginning of the summer trying to find a project. I allready had a few rat bikes so i though, hey...I SHOULD RESTORE THIS. I regret that thought.

probably one of the best looking rats i could of had


Now, the progress of my restoration isnt doing good at ALL its all apart now, and its been like that for a while(other projects, and ran out of money)

So tonight i decided im going to start again, but not perfect it and make some kinda rat.

Hey, it's been around for a while, I think the bike can wait a little longer.

here she is now

Ive been thinking all night what to paint her

either im going to match another bike i have, Primer grey, black red and white

or

flat black, red and white

or

Something ive been wanting to do on a tank bike- Metallicish lime green, with white "tribal" style flames with pink outlines on the flames

Just shoot a lacquer clear coat and it's done.

That is a true rat rod, I'd leave it.

there has been some heated talk on here in the past about "what is a true rat bike" and i agree just clear it and your done. or you could just do like i did on the ratty truck i think clear is too shinny so i just use good ol motor oil.

I prefer 90 weight it ha a much rattier smell 8) I agree, it took about 60 years to achieve that patina why mess with it. Grease the bearings air up the tires and go for a ride

Do you still have the saddle, or at least the crash rail?
I have the same seat but no crash rail.

I agree on just a mechanical restoration and a rub-down with 90w.

That is a sweet Cadillac!

If you aren't going to use the seat, let me know about selling the crash rail.
Thanks.
