Mooneyes Special

[MIGZ]

My next project has started. The car below is the inspiration.

It would give me a heart attack to throw all that salt on my street rod. Its a cool car though.

yeah but at 100+ it don't stay there long.

But I think someone beat ya to it, but would love to see your rendition of it.

I have seen the dyno ones, mine will be a little more stretch. I'm starting slow since the bike will all be funded from flipping bike, selling parts and anything else I come up with but it will not be funded directly from my pay check.

I'll post pics of the frame and fork and the first step in getting it done.

 

[Rat Rod]

Good timing to start this one too. :wink:

You bet, Im on the hunt for the frame I will need for the next build off. But this is a project I think will be a lot of fun.

here is the donor frame I'm trying to figure out a paint scheme and how to incorporate most of the detail on the actual car.

[Jake Sensi]

Migz,
Nice disclaimer... has the wife been snooping the forums? haha

 

[MIGZ]

Not yet, but I have another bike in mind and I'm using my paycheck to save up for that one.

 

[MIGZ]

spokes are on order to finish the rear wheel and plan on dropping it off for powder coat tomorrow

 

[MIGZ]

Finally got the Powder coat swatches. Its amazing how far powder coat has come you can get this stuff just like paint almost.

Color has been decided.

 

[MIGZ]

With spokes in the rear wheel, it was finished.

 

[MIGZ]

Bike Should be back from powder coat later this week.

 

[MIGZ]

Finally got the frame back, found out that doing yellow powder coat is a lot tougher than suspected. Yellow is a color that has to go on pretty thick to get good coverage. The first time it was coated it was a little think in certain areas so it made those areas look darker because you could see the base metal below. This time its pretty thick with really good coverage.

Next will be taking it to the pin striper for the custom lettering and gold leaf.
