You are to be commended on several things...
Materials used. Metal, wood, paper. What's next clay?
Where you're working. I'm sure working in the kitchen isn't the easiest thing to do.
Your documentation of the build is great.

Lookin incredibly cooool.

Great work on the front fender and the sprocket.

Well..I glued the strips on the Tank face with a Clear..super sticky..Craft Glue.I primed it with Red Oxide primer which works great on wood as well..and put about 5 Finish coats of the Red on it.
I polished the Accorn Nuts..and applied the Stripes( my hat comes off AGAIN to anyone who can pull lines with a Brush..I'll stick to the Vinyl one's for now :lol: :lol: )
I will mount the tank by screwing it together underneath the Accorn nuts..and glue the nuts on over the screw holes after to hide them...

peace,
Kev.

neat tank idea with the fins. looks like a ford flat head and since i know u dig fords do a get a cookie for that? anyways awsome bike what happend to the white crank that was a great idea. but installed was it starting to get too many different colors?

ps woot my 200th post damn i talk a lot

 

[Clothespin n]

what happend to the white crank that was a great idea. but installed was it starting to get too many different colors?

exactly that Karfer!
..it was getting crazy with the
Colors so I nixed the Crank.
The White took away from my main thoughts..
which where the Pin Up Girl as the feature..
and the white threw it all off!

 

[karfer67]

would have been cool to somehow work it so that the crank arm was one of her legs lol. :mrgreen:

 

[Clothespin n]

good call Karfer!
thanks
