So, here's what I started with...
And with a few hours work...here's where I am now!
I'm getting really excited about this! I have NO Idea what I'm creating...but I like it!
Work Done...
-Cut and Mount Front Fender (need to curve)
-Cut and Fit Tank (Needs 'Coolness')
-Cut and Conceptualize Rear 'Fender Guard'
-Test Paint Color...I like it...maybe too dark?
Work to be Done...
-The Cotter Pin Cranks need to be cleaned up...everything needs to cleaned up...
-Rear fender will consist of the Diamond Plate you see, cut to match the Chainstay Angle, and cut with a curve that contours the tire.
-Build a Rack (what you see in the photo is an Old Skateboard...I'm going to use that shape though...
And here are some detail shots...
So...What do you all think?
I could use some help with...
-Tying Everything Together (I don't want it to look like a 'Frankenbike...as cool as those are...'
-A NAME!
-What to do with the Tank...
-Where can I find...or how do I make the Front Fork Stays (I think that's what they are called)
-Cream Tires? Black Tires? Pink Tires?
-How do I curve the front Fender...it's 1/8" Aluminum Diamond Plate...
Thanks Everyone!
