I wasn't going to do fenders but I found these peaked ones. Now to remove paint

Then in a bag for an hour

First pass

Then second pass

Might keep this vaining

That'll look good with linseed oil! Nice tone to it

No linseed on it yet

As much as I enjoyed the rust just wasn't for this bike. Polished linseed oil and good wheel needs moving. And had to shorten the seatpost the reach was to far. I'm 5 feet tall 5 1/2 if I have shoes. Sometimes just need to be practical

Great decision on the polished bare metal with linseed. Looks great!

Don't tell people that stuff. Just set it to "short guy" position for the ride, go "tall sized" for the pictures!

I liked the veiny, rusty look, but the polished works too. Hope you are adding the front one too.

And now there is two. Once again bending bracket building and all that fun stuff. Before I was here I restored bikes back to original.I dare anyone of the other restore guys to knock what we do. Trust me this a whole lot harder and a heck of a lot more fun.

I hung out with them when I was booking in Toronto. Lemmy wanted to steal there drummer . Great guys and more influential in metal than people realize.

@MattiThundrrr rubbing off on me

Nice work, that bike really pops out against a dark background. Your skills with the camera are improving greatly, my young apprentice.
Next lesson: dealing with light and shadows. It's important to have the light behind you if you want details, but you have to make sure your shadow doesn't fall on the bike
