Dad's Elgin

[Russ]

I've been working on my new project for maybe the last month. I have the layout in my head...just working on collecting the balance of the parts. I guess I'm shooting for a Adult sized park or muscle bike. It's a 36' Elgin Motorbike...

Great frame to begin with.

Great start!

If you hit the 'Insert pics as full size' button they will show properly in your post.

First mock up..

Color looks good with that motif. Tires fit the build well, too. Nice job! What's next on the agenda?

Thanks, I in the process of blowing it apart and polishing all the hardware. Gonna get the frame pinstriped in butterscotch to match the original 36' style.

Ugh!!

I'm liking this one so far. Is that a Jerald Sulky Slick?

Muttley...are you a hambr?

 

[Muttley]

Yep, that's me.

 

[Russ]

Yep, that's me.

Right on...

 

[OddJob]

hambr? Hmmm, gonna have to look that one up.
Russ, do you have a pic of the original '36 frame with the Butterscotch pinstripes? Like to see that.

It's a Hotrod site...you can look up Jalopy Journal if interested. Here'she an original pic. I'm using for inspiration.

The HAMB is the best forum on the net for traditional Hot Rods and Customs, like RRB is for bikes. I've often wondered how many HAMB members there are on RRB.
