[StraightbarJay]

she is coming along.... I wish I would have started taking pics from the beginning.. Finally found that front hub I was looking for (thanks KevinM) and the wheel is being built. Getting close to going out for paint... This is not gonna be much of a "ratrod"... I have built them in the past and have built so many for friends when I lived at the beach that I have decided to go all out on this one!!!
Look at the pic of the helmet.. now picture that on this bike!!!... Got some chroming to do also... I guess you could call this one a resto custom!!!

Man with that paint scheme it looks like a more 'awesome' (for lack of a better word :roll: ) version of the Rolling Rock Schwinns

 

[StraightbarJay]

Maybe I was subliminally brainwashed!!! and I don't even spend a whole lot of time in Pennsylvania :mrgreen: .....hmmmm?
