Old News Derby build

[HotRodJen]

This Derby came to me by a old man who knew i liked bicycles , it was going to the scrap yard! someone called him up to scrap it , and instead of taking it to the yard he brought it to me the only thing that was wrong with this bicycle is the front wheel was bent .

Before ...


and after many hours of cutting up old car mags that i have a slew of (dont worry i did not sacrifice the good ones ) this is what i have









there we have it i might post detail pics of the cars pics

i wanted to say a big thank you to bigcam59 for trading his rims for my artwork

That turned out really, really nice Jen! 8)
I admit that I had some doubts when I first read your idea for this bike . . . this is absolute proof that artwork cannot be judged while the canvas is still white . . . especially when the canvas is yours! :wink:

mod podge , for the inital glueing i used "matte" me me it seems to just be better for glueing and pressing the images down good then i did top coats of mod podge "glossy"

Nice! I was thinking about using a roll of left over wall paper in that fashion, but not real sure what would hold something that thick down.

oh that could be tricky i would say gorilla glue but if you ever wanted to take it off i bet it would be really hard
