Thanks . . They sure fit the hot rod theme and are fantastic riders too.

How about a handmade kid sized custom with those colors?

Made the frame, rims, and flaked and candied the wheels. At some point I'll break it down and paint the frame but my boys happy with it for now.

This one is all Rat, but I think it can definitely fall into the traditional Hot Rod category as well.

i'll have to get a good full picture of the bike but here are some close-ups of the flames i did on the chain guard and tank:




did the base coat in flat black, put down some painters masking tape, drew the flames by hand with a pen on the tape, cut them out with a hobby knife, and then laid the flames with satin black. makes for a pretty neat contrast depending on what angle the light is hitting it.

This is my interpretation of a traditional Hot Rod build:
