My First Rat! PART DEUX!

[johnnyb]

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!

the front fender i think it should not be there, you can make it a bordtrack style and it will be much better :wink:

I Love the Boardtrack Style! But this bike will be used for riding to and from school...so I'm not sure if I'll flip the handle bars or not...

I'll try it without the fender...thanks!
