Your right Skip, the whitewalls pic was the one that really caught my eye in the first place

This ought to be cool. That's a great color combo. Devlin is here in Wichita and builds some cool stuff.

Re: SPEED SHOP BIKE

Spent about 30 minutes on the bike today ... not much but its a start

almost got the other side sprayed but ran out of stripper

soooo close ...

... but that was all she had left

Not far off but I've still got the chainguard to strip and would like to hit the tight spots a little better first, so this is were I'm at until tomorrow.

I did find a full can of oven cleaner though so I think I'm going to try that tomorrow and see how it compares.

Good comment to add man, the can says to relocate the family dog, call the fire department, spend all your savings and get right with God before use. :wink:

Love the effect the stripper had. Very Spiderman.
To bad you could not keep it.

Re: SPEED SHOP BIKE

Evidently I had the "choke in a cloud of lemon freshness" oven cleaner and not the "melt your face off while your friends watch" oven cleaner :roll: Still toxic as all get out but barely put a curl in the old spray bomb job. Started cleaning up by hand until my boy convinced me to go get a slushy down the street. There are priorities involved here even I can't deny

Oven cleaner results ...

Quick hit with the orbital

tried the lemon freshness kind myself all it did was tick me off
