Dr. Manhattan

[ilikebikes]

Heres my first...second! attempt at a rat rod build, I christened it "Dr. Manhattan." The only thing that remotely makes this a rat rod is it was all built from stuff I had layin' around, some newish, some vintage. No rust or patina but I still think it can be considered a RatRod.

For whatever reason I couldn't post these to the post above.

Nice work! Smooth integration of all of the parts. I like the paint scheme too.

Yeah, What Kingfish said!
Great match with those cool treads. What brand are they?

Thanks gentlemen! The tires came from WalMart! Bell "Stream Liners" Ill post the name of the company that puts them out under the Bell name in a few minutes, but Im pretty sure they were discontinued.

Nice! Definitley a rat rod! I like those dual head lights up front.
Tires match the color scheme too!

Nice job!
The head lights and front brakes are cool.

 

[ilikebikes]

Thanks! The idea on how to mount the lights and adding a front brake came to me while I slept! (I do my best thinking when Im sleeping...yeah, Im weird like that!)
