Sounds like a winter laugh/cute as project...
Lol, Ive never done a kids bike but there are lots of little kids that come with their parents to the Shiny Side Up bicycle show in a few weeks. Since it was free Ill probably just strip it and do something very simple and then sell it at the show for like $50 or something. Make a kid happyHa! a mini build...

Thanks Draco!
I love that frame! the tiny back wheel awesome and great bar choice
Hey guys and gals, Im going to start working on a sheetmetal gas tank this week but im not entirely sure of the direction im going. I did this quick photoshop render with what im thinkin of doing, gotta have a few more louvers on the bike
Thanks for looking!
I really like the louvered panel!
Coming together well. I look forward to seeing it at Shiny Side Up!
Thats the best way to use a huffy. Very nice
Very nice
Thanks Huff!, I cant decide if I should make the louvers right in the tank, or on a seperate piece and rivet it to the tank...
Thanks Crash! Ill have my RRB t-shirt on!
Thanks Schwinn Boy! I gone done the huffy chop!Thats the best way to use a huffy.
Got a little teaser today, I cut the side panels for the gas tank. Im still not sure if I should make the louvers directly in the side panels, or make a pair of plates with louvers and rivet them to the tank
What do you guys think?
Thanks for looking!

I would put them directly into the panels for a cleaner look. Just me though...

That's what I was leaning towards. Only thing is it will be a lot more difficult.... I guess I was just thinking lazyI would put them directly into the panels for a cleaner look. Just me though...

If the tank panel was a single sheet, I would suggest doing the louvers on separate smaller panels and mounting them with some standoffs as an added dimensional detail. But I think you said that the tank panels are already going to be dimensional, so no standoffs. You could still rivet them on.
The tank will have three bends per side, two at the back to "taper" in the tank, and one at the front for fork clearance. I think ill go with doing the louvers straight in the tank for a cleaner look, also the louvers themselves should give good dimensional detail
Now that I see the mock up, I really like the rivets...

Personally I think it might be a bit out of character for the rest of the bike. Im going to keep it as clean as possible. But thanks!
Bonus pics! I went to a cool little vintage motorcycle show in Capitola yesterday. Thought I'd share a few cool bikes with ya
There is nothing cooler than riding a vintage motorcycle. My dad has a barn full of them and one day I'll inherit them, hopefully not for a long time. That Honda Dream is beautiful and the, what looks to be about a mid 1960's R60 BMW, is one of my favorite bikes. Very cool pix, thanks for showing them. I wish I went to that show!!
