I picked up an old girl's Stingray for a song off of Craig's List last night:
When I'm done, this little kitten is going to deserve her own Suicide Girls spread
The lowrider fork is definitely the first to go. Not just by choice - the lower bearing was broken up and made huge gouges in the steer tube. I am thinking of using a 26" fork for a subtle chopper look. The seat will be reupholstered in leopard print and matching grips will be purchased. I'm going to try making a custom sissybar (I'm praying to the fat dancing Buddha for help on that). Paint is going to be harlot-red metallic. There's lots of other little details that make me pretty excited for this build. One thing in particular may make a few jaws drop.... 8)
