RRBBO13 Q U O I S E

Highlight stripes for the tank or somewhere on the bike? I remember how you were digging on that 'alligator skin' covered tank somebody else posted on their build....

 

[Duchess]

I would use them for "hood tie downs" to mate the halves together, but I don't know what you'd do.

 

[The Renaissance Man]

My guess would be matching hand-stitched grips, but what do I know?

That was my guess too. But then there's only five. Think you'd want six for grips.

Good guess, I have done that before. But not this time. Also, you can't always trust what you see. There are five cut, but one was a screw up.

I like these guessing games because of all of the creative ideas! Highlight stripes is getting closer to the answer.

I didn't do anything more with the leather strips yet but I did get the bike into the paint booth today!

Maybe a chainstay protector, though without a derailleur it's not . . . is that a FFR 65 Coupe? They're only a few hours from me—great company run by good people. If I wasn't such a weirdo with my own designs, I'd build a car using one of their chassis.

Yes , the reason the frame is off center in the pic.

 

[The Renaissance Man]

^ Yep, yep and yep. ^

The paint booth is inside Unique Motorcars, there is lots of eye candy in their facility! That door is usually not open so I couldn't resist the photo bomb. They also make the TRM Tanks for me.

 

[RustyGold]

Uh...how do you get a picture of a Unique Motor Cars Daytona Cobra?

Easy...U neek up on it

Oh , Cool , now I can cut out the middle man

I did count five... So are You saying You need only four of them? Then I go with my initial guess - You will probably put them on the pedals, where usually the reflectors rest?

Haha, I didn't catch that the first time I read it, thought it was a typo.

I keep waiting to see what you're going to build with the one you already have!

BINGO! Pedal reflectors just don't seem to fit with vintage bikes.
Still haven't put them in, but here's a quick look.

In other news...

The epoxy primer is done. Ready for some rusty quoise next!

On my phone screen it looked like you were using strips of bacon on your pedals. Savannah's rival ball team is called the Macon Bacon.

Now comes the fun and name of this build. Work your magic.

 

[The Renaissance Man]

Back to my shop for a mix of brown primer and oxidizing iron paint.

My first thought too. Customer to TRM, "I want a bike JUST LIKE that Raceliner you built that I saw all over the internets."

TRM, "Well, it can't be JUST LIKE it, but it can be close."

 

[The Renaissance Man]

This is as close as it will get, but not for long.

It's definitely hard to deny its roots at this stage!

 

[The Renaissance Man]

QUOISE time! Back to my red neck paint booth at the back of the shop.

Painted the bottom side first. (Forgot to get the upside down picture without the tank.)

After a few minutes I flipped it over and painted the top side leaving some of the rusty prep showing.

That's right, I forgot the name of this build;
_ _ _ Quoise .

 

[RustySprockets]

I like the janky paint stand.

I thought it was pronounced "que eze" like 'jeez que eze"
