Very cool!!!
But you have just disqualified yourself with video evidence that you actually started this build back in January 2016. :D
 
Awesome! And I heard a little scrape....fiberglass doesn't throw sparks very well though. :bigsmile:

Looks cool. I'm thinking a helmet like this is needed to continue the aerodynamics.

You proved it wasn't January, but not that it wasn't 2016 :D
 
I like the stance with the 24 rear even better

This may flow better with the vibe of the body.

I've probably had these handlebars since January of 2016...

Actually just pulled them from a schwinn racer.

Anyway, I wanted to try them to see if I liked them better than the moon bars. And I do.

And I definitely like the stance with the 24 better.

Thanks @KJV for making me think about that.
 
Man, That is one sweet ride now! Love the look of the 24 in the rear. I like seeing some ankle, er, rim and tire. And, if you do the aforementioned white walls on fr and r.....hubba hubba! And I agree on the bars as well.

I'm just brainstorming here, but the white looks really cool. What if you did a white base color, or maybe that early '70s champagne Caddy color (our doctor down at the end of our road had one), and then lined the indentations on the form with a silver or chrome color to make it look like the molding / trim on the car? Matching handlebar mirrors are almost a given, right?

You got a good one going here, my friend. RaT oN~!

You're not far off from what's in my mind. And yes, there is a mirror.
 
This thing is cool. Maybe you need to think about the smaller wheel and an airbag. Then put some skid plates along the bottom of the body to you can drop it low and send out a shower of sparks. :)
Air ride is out of my budget right now, but was thinking a lever controlled mechanism to lower a spark plate.
