First build: stretched murray cruiser

[gingerdiver87]

so i bought this bike a little over a year ago. i have worked on it just a little. getting everything working right and and a little more my style.. it this is how it look when i showed up at my house and after i spent some time cleaning the rust off
i got my hands on a tig welder and stared to chop it up and add some support for the seat i was able to just pick up some scrap metal at the local fab shop at no cost. and the chop starts

my awesome jig i put together haha it works right? i also wanted to lower the whole bike over all so i notched out a 1/2 inch out of the forks and welded it back together

 

[gingerdiver87]

i took a notch out of the top section on my sub frame and bent the rear up then welded up the notch. after that i put it all together and sprayed the fresh metal with some paint.

and a before and after of the frames just to give everyone a good idea what the big diff are

 

[gingerdiver87]

i will have more pictures to come. i have it ready to paint! any ideas on what colors?

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Liking this stretch so far, you kept the lines from stock quite nicely.
