I like the natural satin aluminum finish. If you want it shiny, you can sand and polish that aluminum to a mirror chrome finish with a little elbow grease. Polished aluminum can look just like chrome.

I incorporated an old school cantilever brake cable hanger, mounted from a hole in the seat rail. Then widened the holes in the plate to accept the lamp screws, and used some leftover brake cone washers and a nut to secure the 'new school' gore-tex derailleur cable in place. I squeezed the top of the cable hanger ends so it closed the slot and the cable won't pop out.

The F.W. Woolworth Company was a pioneer of the five and dime. Frank Winfield Woolworth opened The Great 5 Cents Store, his first, in Utica, N.Y., in 1879. The first thing he sold was a five-cent fire shovel.

My wife’s grandfather managed a Woolworth for years. He used to cuss to me about it and the shoppers all the time! Lol.

I never met my grandad on my fathers side due to a very early death. My grandfather on my mothers side died when I was a freshman in college.

My wife and I are high school sweethearts.

As a high school / college kid and young man, my wife’s grandfather was a good mentor (one of many) for me.

When he passed a number of years back, he left me his craftsman wrenches that I use on all my bike builds. :heart:

It's a beautiful Friday eve in the BACK40. Suns out, light breeze, in the low 70's....and speaking of '70s, I've got '70s on 7 Sirius / XM on the radio....and a '70s Hot Wheels spectra-flame gasser parked in the shed....

My orange can crapped out on me. So I had to do a yellow, then red, then yellow over the top again to get some orange on this thing. Worked pretty good.

Don't get your undies in a bundle about the blotchiness of the panel, that will mostly be covered by some graphics. I just wanted to get some paint on it. FYI, it is WAY easier to paint round bike tubing than a flat surface!

This thing is over the top! I love every inch of this thing!!!

These last few posts are kind of funny to me, because one of my original names for this build, when I was considering some shiny colors, was "CANDY GASSED". :bigsmile:

And then I found this one, and thought it kind of already has been done:

Awesome! I customize hot wheels as another hobby of mine. I love making gassers!
 
How bought an old post card

Such a cool Gasser. Really like this build OJ.

I like the rust, but I also like the shine! Metal shades are usually my favorite. Overlay with some candy and get this nice gradient on the frame. [emoji106][emoji106]

Building.... ....Riding
