Haven't looked at the forum lately on my computer, but I bet the Green Machine was deep in page 2.
Not much happening on the build lately. It's either raining or blistering hot out, or my sinuses are giving me fits.
Got the pedals I ordered in today, so I figured I would get out after work and "play" with my build-off bike.
They are German made, but still 1/2" and look the part for a ratty hot rod bike. Amazing how much easier these and other old school pedals I have are to spin than brand new pedals, even aftermarket ones.
Added some carpet strip bling to the rear rack. Not quite the same shape as those on the tank, but still sort of art deco and they bring the front and back together visually I think.
The last thing I did to the bike a couple of weeks ago was making more robust mounts for the green reflectors that flank the headlight. Thinking I will dig up some of my empty 357 Magnum brass to cover the back side of the reflector bolts. If I can find a couple of nickel plated ones that would be the nuts.
Mocked up the mount for the battery box tonight as well. I'll wait until final assembly to do the wiring.
Debating on flipping the bars. Not my favorite position, but may help with the hot rod look.
And last, but not least, a gratuitous grandson baby picture!
He's 3.5 months old now and just about doubled in size. My daughter-in-law says he's into 6 to 8 month size already. And having a hard time finding boys stuff in that size too. Grandma and Grandpa need to start searching the local thrift stores! Maybe I'll find some cool bike stuff too. LOL
