Raisin under the sun finished

[abel01]

Well I wanna start by saying this is the first time I enter the buildoff.And I had more fun building this one ...than any other! Most of the parts I already
had in my box of goodies...anyways I'm very happy with my build...And I wish everyone good luck ..

When I first brought it home.....

And now it looks like this....

stripped....

first coat of paint....

Here's the rims....

Tank ...which is not as easy as I thought it would be..=)it's my first one.

Well here it is....I put extensions on the fender brackets to give it the lowered look....the tires are about 1/4 of an inch from fender. Troxel seat I picked up at the local flea market for $5 same flea market I got the frame from.. for $15-$20 ...I forget.Also gave it a skiptooth with morrow hubs..bullet grips,valve caps.

See the hub shiner...it's actually a chain that is red and chrome....
