HotWheels 68 #16

[big AL]

I went to a local shop the other day and got this baby new from the box for a song. The owner had planned to keep it for his collection but like everything these days has hit some hard times and needs to sell some bikes.
I felt a little guilty but it's all good in the past I have purchased some very expensive bikes from his shop. It has gone to real good home and I take very good care of my bikes. It's #16 of what I understand is a very limited number made.

I have made a few changes nothing that can't be put back to original mostly from inspiration from this form. It's real fast and a real joy to ride.

That's real nice, really brings out the "hot rod" look :wink: Nice General Grabbers too :mrgreen:

I love this model of Felt, just plain tough looking. I had an opportunity to check out highwheelerboy25's last weekend.

Where did the handlebar wrap come from? Is it for a motorcycle or is it automotive steering wheel wrap?

Cheers!

It always was one of mind too. Steering wheel wrap.

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

That is a truly cool idea, hope you don't mind when I pay 'homage' to it someday... :mrgreen:

Enjoy your new ride!

Cheers!

I know it would take me a long time to stop smiling after bringing something like that home

Very cool. Don't see those much, and I like your changes.

Now how about some more shots of that FJ beside it? :mrgreen:

Nice! 6" lift?
Not to hijack your thread, but here's mine (actually clean!):

And not so clean:

How is the saddle, like comfort wise, etc.?

WAY comfy and looks cool (vintage yet modern)
You can still get them at Felt.

Eggz,
6" and it rides nice on the road. How do you like your's?

 

[SCHWINNRAY69]

Nice car, General Grabbers look good on any 4x4 :wink:

I also have a Felt Hot Wheels 68 that I am presently converting to electric with a Bafang 750 watt mid drive. I love your headlight! Where did you source it, is it LED or incandescent, how is it powered, and where/how did you mount it? Sorry for the barrage of questions but I'm looking to add a headlight and I love the look of yours. Those bars are sweet, too. The stock bars are unridable but I opted for a factory Felt moto style bar.

Thanks for any input you can relay!
