getting a little more work done. I have the frame and fenders blued. I think it looks better than paint in this case.

I am digging the bluing you be doing.

Gives it a nice character with the bluing.

I say leave it like that...haha! Seriously, there is something very artistic about that image...great lines! Looking forward to the rest!

I haven't been able to do much lately, but I did manage to get some work done last weekend. I couldn't decide on the wheels I wanted to use.
Here is a shot with chrome wheels I had. The look didn't appeal to me that well, so I decided to strip paint of another set and blue them like the frame and fenders. I think I made the right choice. The brass nipples match the brazing on the frame and gives it a nice touch.

That's real tasty...love the brass/rust combo.

+ nice work on the brazing...would love to be able to do that.

Those wheels look very familiar. Hope you know someone that can true them back up for you.

I got the wheels from a guy with a hat, dark glasses and long beard. I heard he knows a thing or two about truing them up.

Found me a nice little seat and post on eBay. Are any of you familiar with this type? What is the best way to take the springs loose?

 

[kingfish254]

Not so sure that you should try taking those springs loose. What is your goal in doing so?

Just wanting to take all the old paint off and clean it up.

 

[Dan Hampton]

After a long weekend of carefully taking apart the the seat, I was able to strip all the old paint off. I am pleased with the end result.

 

[horsefarmer]

Wow! Your seat really came out nice.

 

[kingfish254]

Nice work on that seat. Glad you didn't listen to me.
