D'stressing is looking good.

With some amazing polished or machined options in anything goes, the look you are coming with is an encouragement to anyone starting out that seeing the potential result can be from a whole other direction.

Oh that's nice! I just picked up a Hawthorne yesterday, but now I see what's missing on mine...looking awesome so far!

Looking sweet and fast!
Are you going to use those art deco side panels?

Re: New Age Hawthorne -- Gosh it's hot...

Probably not, but I'm going to wait and see when it's back together again what looks good and what doesn't.

Decided to break out the spray cans after all and give the tank a 3 way "heat stress" fade:

Tank back together to see what it will look like:

Tank mocked up with chain guard in frame:

The tank looks great, the heat stress idea is perfect!

Very impressive! *thumbs up!*

Not sure if I can get all this stuff to play nice together, but this Huffy ten speed chain ring looks at home with these hubs, don't you think?

Nicer if I can get the second chain ring off without ruining it, but if it has to stay, no biggie...

It looks ok on it, i'd see if I could get it one color, either black or silver.

Re: New Age Hawthorne -- Gosh it's hot...

Sprocket fun:

Re: New Age Hawthorne -- Gosh it's hot...

Looks awesome, I like it better without the guard though....just my opinion of course.

Re: New Age Hawthorne -- Gosh it's hot...

Not quite finished yet, but thought I'd get at least 1 beauty shot in before the deadline:

Looks fast sitting still.
Nice work!

Home stretch, got the front fender on, working on lighting. It'll be there, just not sure if it'll be working. Running out of time:

Looks streaky fast! Love the taillights in the end of the bars, nice touch!

[Toeslider]

Couple minor updates and I'm done...leaving town and don't have a cool trailer to take my project with me like Luke, so into the finished forum it goes!


Found the amber lights for the bars I originally intended to use, I wanted them to be turn signals:

Made a tag to cover up the dent where the factory riveted the chain guard support. It says "Experimental".

Found some cool bezels for the front headlight bulbs. They're actually shock bushings.
