RAT (for now) BUILD

[CCR]

Got a 51 Hornet a little while back and Ive got all the stuff to restore it, but I dont have the spare time it needs to do it right at the moment, so (in traditional rat rod style) im just gonna spray bomb it real quick and throw on some different wheels/tires just to make it a rider for now.

Bike (fenders, rack are getting left off )

Wheels / Tires (been dying to get these on the ground )
24" S-2's - previously rattle canned white
Felt Thick Brick whitewalls I got from yeshoney

will have some red on the bike (original badge/valve caps/ grips)

Out of the spray bombs ive got handy that i like, you pick it, ill paint it. :mrgreen:
green/tan/orange/blue

[CCR]

Wow, really ?!

I was definitly thinking it was too Coca-Cola Candy-Cane-ish looking to me.

CCR,
Try taking the white onstripe tape off and see how it looks with the new wheels on it. Take a few pics and see what everyone thinks. FLip bars and take for a ride. Could be the recipe!
