Wow Rhys, that's a hardcore work schedule and a half you've been working on this and it's paying off big style, nice job!
Don't know what you had in mind for tyres but a pair of stretched out skinny tyres, like the euro look car boys do, would look way cool.

Thank you Uncle fide

I'm stuck on that as it goes. I was thinking about having them stretched out like stanced trikes but I want it more rat look so I was thinking big side white walls like this

But I'm going to get them from a used tyre place so it's what ever they got really lol

My frame is almost finished any thinking I do now will just be for looks I need to do one 3 welds and clean it up more then it's 100% finished
I need to make a seat mount but that's just a bolt on
After 2weeks in going to get my seat today my mum is going to take me lol.
I need to twist my back bone to make my head tube plum that don't be hard I'll do that this morning before I go home

So this is what the frame is looking like now

Been doing some hard thinking about my wheels
And had a chat with RAT ROD
I won't tell you what about you will have to wait and see

So I'm going with the cream and I'm going to do something really nice with the centre caps maybe Crome paint don't know yet

So the cost of my build had gone up to 9 quid with out the seat
I still need tyres tho

The colour combo looks really good screams old school
I got some runs so what I'm going to do is rub it down with a bit of wet and dry so it makes it go dull

Bad news and good news about the seat
Bad news the shop didn't have any that I liked and that was good
Good news is I had I idea I'm going to make my own bomber seat I've been looking on google and it looks like I can do it with the stuff I've got at work so wish me luck. Some bomber seats I like .....

My little prototype

What I'm going to do later is make a life size one out of cardboard then unfold it and cut the shape out in aluminium and rivet it all

That seat is ambitious, but will rock if you can pull it off!

Good luck, Rg

Looking forward to the bombe seat, seems like it will be a better example of your skills too.

It's been a long weekend and I've done no work on my lowlife at all so I've slept all day today so I can stay up all night and work on it.
My to do list tonight is
Weld the rest of the frame
Clean up the welds
And finish painting my wheels

Should be easy to do tonight but there is a lot of welding :/

Works for me Rhys, I'd radius the top of the side panels though.
