Hood Rat

Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=67&t=56465&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

I started off thinking I had plenty of time, but with other projects and work, it took much longer than I thought it would to close this build out. I'm proud of it, but here's a funny fact: It's not my type of bike. See, I had the idea all planned out, but the parts and pieces that spoke to me all assembled together formed a bike that's not my style. So, I love it, but I'll probably be selling it in the not too distant future. Next year, I'll probably go with something a little more stripped down.

ANNNYYYWWAAAYYY, here she is, and thank you for your consideration:

Nice... I like the deville

 

[Terry66]

Really nice bike. I love the colors and the whole bike.

I know what you mean about the parts talking to you. I usually let the frame/parts decide what direction I take the bike.

Congrats on building an awesome ride....

Man i could get into those crazy pull back bars! Bike has a long, mean look to it. Hey, maybe C.C. Deville of Poison will see it and have to cruise it! :wink:

Wicked looking bike! I've seen a bunch of rat rod cars and trucks with no upholstery, just the seat springs also, nice touch.

Ahahaha! I've never seen that bike before, and yet, there are a few similarities. I guess there really isn't any truly original ideas anymore.

Nice bike, by the way. Did you make those bars?

Pure Rat

 

[JJBones]

Killer!If I saw your bike rolling down the street I would stop and drop my jaw.

 

[MplsCoaster]

I like the color scheme, lots of details, and the flow of the bars and seat. Nice Job.

 

[yoothgeye]

Bike looks great, lots of cool little touches and it all blends well.

I used exercise bike pedals on my build off bike last year, very similar to those with the rubber straps, I eventually had to cut them off because the rubber stretches while riding and I came to a stop and my feet were stuck in the pedals and I almost fell over.

To many great details to mention them all! My fave is the horn/headlight paring side-by-side. Such a classic look!

 

[Critter1]

Devon.. You have some ratty rat goodness going on here. My favorite part is the horn/headlight like someone already said.
