Re: DOUBLE NICKLE and DR.T's AUCTION RAT!(With Kustom Rack!!!)

Hey guys,
The last couple of weeks Terry (of Jezusjonz headbadge-fame ;-) and I have been working on a custom designed headbadge for the auction rat. Terry contacted me because I did the original design of the RRB-shirt the auction rat is loosely based upon. I came up with this design using the original lettering and at the same time tried to get the look of an 'official' badge. Terry had been teasing me for several days with sneakpeeks from the different stages in the process. And tonight, as I was corresponding with Dr. T. I recieved another headbadge photo from Terry. He still has to clearcoat it but we can't hold it to ourselves anymore. So here it is.

Terry said the pic isn't his his best so let's hope he can find the time to make a good shot of it. I've posted a sneakpeek from an in-between stage were you can see much more of how the metal looks in daylight.

I think it came out more than great. Hope you guys like it as much as we do.
Cheers guys!

...and hats off to all of the participants.
Thanks for making all of this possible!

Bike is looking to good to pass up being part of this project. Been busy, haven't kept up with it. I just have to "tweak" the fork a little more.

Do you think this'll work? That's a 24in rim, with a bent fork. It will dop the front CONSIDERABLY. Pedals should still clear the ground. I left a space at the top to mount the headlight. Let me know if this is what you want before I mail it.

That will be perfect AND they're the right color already! We are running a set of 5" cranks on it now. hopefully, they won't scrape TOO badly.. :roll: :wink:

The forks will have to be prepped and re-primered. :wink: .....The 5 inch cranks will NOT scrape (I promise :roll: )
