Students, Professor Bart is giving Dutch lessons over in Class 2.

we have a saying here in the Netherlands: "Mosterd na de maaltijd". Literally translated: Mustard after diner

Everyone repeat after Bart:
"Mosterd na de maaltijd"

He's also mixing old parts with new construction to cook up a lekker fauxtina rat!

Smakelijk!

Finished build sub forums will open sometime Saturday 7/1 so stay tuned


You will need to start a new thread for your build in the appropriate Class 1 or 2 finished bikes area using the name of your bike build, then add photos, highlights of the build, a link to your build thread, etc. Remember, the FIRST thing in your finished thread must be THE photo you would like used for judging in the Voting Thread. No finished thread means you will not be eligible for voting so don't miss this crucial step

I'm getting all sorts of ideas from @GeePig and his unique truss and extensions...

And I absolutely adore the fishies...

Fish treads, fish treads
Rolly poly fish treads
Fish treads, fish treads
Build them up, YUM!

Some success today

"Some success"?! Look at that front end!

Uncle Shish is doing the talking this time

So after reading up some and getting some tips I restored and repainted the Mesinger seat using automotive fabric and vinyl paint.
The 71 represents the CVN Aircraft Carrier Theodore Roosevelt, which VFA-211 is attached to. The stripes represent the flight deck runway.

Looks hotrod to me!

I looked up "pinstripe designs" on Google and came up with lots of hits. I found one that was the right look and modified it a little in (don't laugh) MS Paint

Nobody's laughing, that looks freakin AWESOME!

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

thank goodness for this thread or I would miss 75% of this stuff.

Well, don't miss what Bart is doing!

I fabricated, adapted, cut, filed and assembled the rear light on top of the fender.

And I absolutely love the texture and finish on the fenders too. So much going on with this build, it'd be wise to check out the whole thing!
