Thanks. The lock nut is re-installed. I took it off after installing it because the washer covered the lettering.

Had a quick hour to work on the LMGM before a nasty thunder bumper storm came through.

Got the chainguard and "exhaust system" mounted. Still need to finish the wiring though. Tightened up a few bolts and thought I would take a quick spin before the rain started, but it wasn't meant to be. Approaching the end of the drive, I saw a car coming and instinctively pedaled backwards to stop. The pedals went back far more than expected!. Crap. Forgot to bolt down the brake arm!
Walked the LMGM back to the shed and got the tools picked up and headed for the house.

Oh well. Still got another month to get this finished.

Guess I should have explained it's a Rat Rod Bikes build-off project. LOL

Andy, the first word that comes to mind when I saw your full photo just now was 'cohesive'.
Everything works together on this build! And, as uninformed as the comment on the facebook (?) post was, the poster obviously thought it was a 'factory' or 'stock' original build; because they thought all it would take to get it back to it's original glory was a spit shine.

So, as inane as the comment might be to us rat rodders, it was actually a very high compliment.

Thanks OJ. Didn't think of it that way, and I am one who usually tries to walk a mile in the other guy's shoes before judging him.

I knew there was something I liked about you.

A few teaser pictures to keep me on page 1. LOL

102° F + in the shade prior to hurricane Isaias and rain every afternoon since. Not much getting done.
Had a few minutes this afternoon to piddle around in the shed. Should clean the shed, but the last time I tried that I got bit by a spider!

Now for some paint...

 

[MazdaFlyer]

Paint???

 

[handyandy1100]

Paint???

The new cross bar. Recycled copper pipe. Going to paint it the same silver color as the exhaust system.

Bought my first bike of the year (finally) last weekend. This Covid19 thing has really put the hurt on retailers who sell bicycles and that has jacked up used bike prices I think.
Anyway, I picked up an Ocean Pacific "Roller" cruiser that looks like an Electra Cruiser 1 knock off. Similar too, but not the same as the Hyper Cruiser. Paid all of $40 for it. Maybe the used bike prices are starting to come down, or the guy I bought from didn't know they went up!
Now I am suffering with an outbreak of B.A.D.D., Bicycle Attention Deficit Disorder. Trying hard to stay focused on Lean Mean, but that new bike is crying for attention! LOL
I've already swapped out the seat and seat post to get some ideas. Thinking I may use the original seat and chain guard off my Electra Townie to really mess with people's minds.

Bicycle Attention Deficit Disorder.

I heard there working on vaccine for that . In the meantime just put it back in quarantine .
I did just the opposite ,I stole all the parts off a OP and transferred them to a Electric frame so I could sell it .
