ok sorry once again no pics yet gotta go get a cheap digital since mine is lost grrrrr. anyways a long time customer of mine is this kid who always wanted a schwinn cruiser. one day he called me all excited saying he found a 60's cruiser for sale and bought it. well when he brought it to me it was not what he was told. it is a 80's cruiser welded together like the new ones the paint was all scratched to heck and such. well he loved it anyways and i helped him with it along the way. well his mother came into the shop the other day and told me someone tried to steal it. when they could not they decided to bash in the fenders, and kick in his rear wheel. i think the robber thought it was an old one and got pissed so he decided to ruin it. they bought a new schwinn SSX for him and donated his bike to the shop. well here is where i come in i am so pissed about the whole deal that i am going to rip it apart bolt for bolt redo it as some sort of custom and give it back to him. neither of them know about it so i think it will be fun. not sure what way i am going to go with it but i want the quality to be as nice as any of my personal kustoms nothing less will do. pics to follow soon of the progress!
 
when he first posted the tease for the 'rowdy red dingo' i thought that was going to be this bike..........saw it on the sat. ride.....and yeah,it was in a pretty pitiful state...dont really have any ideas where karfers going with this one so ill be just as suprised as everyone else(with the exception of its owner!!)
 
took a look at it tonight and i think i am going to go with a more traditional "AC" style bike. clean not cluttered boardtracker but i think i am going to do some major paint work and frame work to this one. going to do a few of those "wow i always wanted to try that" tricks on this one mostly ideas from you guys. pics to follow as soon as i get some dough together and get a camera.
