Can't Wait! AH! Now With Paint!

Thanks Lucas. You have watched this one through the whole process. I appreciate your interest.
Got my shifter and cable done. You don't see too much. I like it run through the frame.

No problem! Like that hidden shifter cable, its a nice touch :wink:

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Luke has been here too. I do appreciate the continued interest from both of you. Its nice to
know someone is watching. Been a fun build and maybe after a small break, I will do another.
I have done 5 in a row so its time to let up a little and take care of some stuff on the house.

Super clean build, love the final touches...

Well, these bars look very much o.k. (and comfy). The painted bars however, had just that little bit more "joy de vivre" (sorry for my bad English). Any chance of giving it the same coat, like the previous one?
If not, no harm's been done. It still looks wicked (I'm not into chrome, you know :mrgreen: ).

LOVE IT!!!
At first glance it shouted to me 55 Bel air, shape of the frame top on the bike kind of matches the front fender on the Chevy and of course the color. (maybe I´m coocoo but I see it! :shock: )

Thanks everybody. I hate that my wife liked it too. She jumped on this one
like a chicken on a june bug. Oh well I will build again. :wink:
Maybe the next one will look better...ya never know.

I don't blame her, I'd jump on a bunch of "june bugs" for that one! :lol: I love that bike ! 8)

Thanks K9, I don't normally stray from the few colors I use...black ...red...orange.
This was a switch for me . I'm going to try experimenting with colors I don't use. I
think it really made a fair design pop. I had some opaque red and sprayed it over
this color and it made a really cool color like black cherry. I may do the next one in it.

Do you still have this bike? I absolutely love the frame.
