Re: Schwindian Wheel spinners

These wheel spinners came off of a 63 Buick Riviera. They fit good though.

Thanks guys! The Zilla and I are having sooo much fun with this build off. Wish I had entered in previous years. We are getting close to being able to ride it, but we aren't finished throwing stuff at it to see what sticks yet. Thanks for watching.

I think you should rig up a sparking skid plate for your brakes, because this build is kinda lacking any wow factor so far. :p

That's an Olds and not a Pontiac? Interesting..........

I think it is off a 52 Pontiac Chieftan! Awesome! Dang it Judd! I had a whole drawer full of those that I was gonna use on my build!......

Oh Well! :lol: :lol: :lol: :mrgreen:

Sorry thats right its a Pontiac. But for me if its not for a VW its just bike parts. :D



Maannnn I have a weak spot for the Pontiac hood ornaments. You may have just tricked me into voting for you :wink:
 
Re: Schwindian parts shortage?

Small setback. spent the day looking for a couple key parts, no luck.
(Pick, I may be giving you a call this weekend or so.)
The hunt will continue, we still have time.

Still need to clean them up some but they fit the flow of the bike I think
 
Re: Schwindian Pontiac style tail lights

I see some rear fenders in your future! This is gonna be cool folks! 8)
 
Re: Schwindian Pontiac style tail lights

Hope those fenders are not holding you up! I had planned on pulling them & gettin them to ya, but they have been trying to squeeze every ounce of work out of me before the holiday. Hope to have them for you this weekend. Build is lookin awesome so far & one of my favorites! 8)
 
Re: Schwindian Pontiac style tail lights

Sorry there haven't been much in the way of updates lately. My rusty old truck has been having issues. Yesterday the mount that hold the gas tank rusted off dropping a full tank of fuel onto the rear axle and took out the rear brakes when it came down. I made it home without any other incident. Will be busy with that today. Hopefully have some time to work on the bike this evening and weekend.

Pick, maybe we can hook up tomorrow? The VW still runs. :D
