So here are some parts fresh back from the powder coat. Fred does awesome work and he's got great prices.

Nice root beer brown metal flake. ...
I'll add more pics later

Those frames are cool I just never liked the "rat rod" theme.

 

[Hooksie313]

Yea. I can see why I think. Seems a little contrived for the rat rod purists.

 

[Hooksie313]

I do like the pedal forward frames though

 

[Hooksie313]

I gotta make some choices. White chainring that's solid or black powdercoat that is original to the bike.

Also, original handlebars or the mustache handlebars painted black

And I have two pair of tires black Hookworm or or cream Boa-G

Maybe one of each?!
Everything else black powder or black paint hubs and spokes too

 

[jamesdart]

Creme tires would prob look good with the rootbeer

Latest pics:

Started building the wheels today. Blue green rims with blacks hubs and black 12 gauge spokes.

 

[Hooksie313]

Update. Don't paint spoke ends. I learned the hard way. Got a new set of spokes and will be fitting it all together soon.

bike looks good. I am looking for some handle bars like your black painted ones where did you order them form and what is the official name of them?

 

[Hooksie313]

They are original to the bike. Just inverted cruiser bars. I had them powder coated black satin.

Oh ok, thanks.

They are off an Electra rat rod 26". Any Electra dealer will carry them for around $30 US.
