Lowco Liner (aka Sunday Best)

[Dr. Tankenstein]

That tank is gorgeous!
Did Kingfish have a fitting room for all them parts? Seems great that you can go and fit stuff together. Is that a front wheel on the rear? The blue colour looks good too.
I remember a time when you could go to the bike shop and fit tires/fenders and wheels.

I like where your build is heading dr.

Yes, that is a front wheel, he was nice enough to have taken the tire off, so we opened the hatch on the 95 Volvo wagon, popped on my tire, aired it up and mocked up right in the street!
I’ve actually borrowed the whole wheelset so I can measure spokes and potentially do a rolling mock-up while I remove my fingerprints polishing my rims.
We then went to his garden patio and brainstormed stuff for his build and just ‘BS’ed’ for a while, just a great afternoon.
Let me just say, I’m really lucky/fortunate to have @kingfish254 as a friend. You won’t find a better dude than that guy.

That sounds great, I do not know mr Kingfish in person, but I believe you. This whole forum community is really nice.
And a 95 Volvo wagon? Those are cool, lots of space! An old lady in my street has a red one, been eyeballing that for years (the car).

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

It currently serves as my ‘truck’. Quality vehicle, runs/drives like a tank every day.

On another note, as I type at 3:35 AM, considering a name change…..stay tuned

I've never seen a roadmaster tank without the paint. They're so cool, one of my favorites. That looks really good. Nice score.

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

I can see traces of the original red on the back and some green house paint. I’ll snap more ‘before’ shots

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

Now that I have the tank (and a chainguard coming), decided to play off the ‘Luxury Liner’ original name and call it Lowcountry Liner.
Thanks @kingfish254 for the suggestion (and the chainguard)!

Streetside rat haberdashery. A ratterdashery so to speak.
Thanks for all of the parts discussions in Queenfish's courtyard too. It was great pulling my build out there and bouncing ideas off of you with this part and that part. The feeling is mutual brother, glad you moved down my way bike bud!

We were rolling through different names and once I found the chainguard and saw one with the Luxury Liner script on it, Lowcountry Liner just seemed natural. @Wildcat will recognize the guard when you get it. It came from one of the bikes I bought from him ages ago when he moved from JAX to P.I.

New name fits the bike and locale. At 49' above sea level, that's pretty 'low'.

Lowcountry and Coastal Empire are a couple of the nicknames for this area
DrT is only 10 feet above sea level and I'm only 39 feet above. @Captain Awesome is only about 20 feet above. @Skydreamer is only 13 feet above.

I googled ' How many feet above sea level is Savannah, GA.'? Got this...

I wasn't guessing.

Yeah that is the "high ground" near city hall. I went to whatsmyelevation.com and punched in addresses.

I’m only 13’ where I live, so I truly have “friends in low places”

Get a nosebleed going to visit @kingfish254 way up on the hill

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Haha the valley I live in is at 194 feet elevation. Water level behind the dam in my backyard is about 238 above sea level

 

[Wildcat]

This thing?

Yep, from your 53 CWC build I believe.

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

@Wildcat , here’s the pic @kingfish254 sent me that made me say “YES!” That’s perfect!

I guess it is the same one!
