Sears Freightliner Klunk

Was out late this afternoon trying out a different seat. I was met with an amazing sunset.

It might be tough to discern with the Girvin, but do you notice more flex in the frame after your modification? It looks nothing like a 'liner now, so unique! You are takin it to whole new levels

I noticed how much more stiffer it is. Now that the gussets have been added. I’m not sure if I really need to add anything else.

How about extending something behind the seat post, curved loop, or tapper down to tire? Just a thought...........Curt

I threw on a set of alloy bars today as well as set of old school brick treads. Plenty of frame clearance now and rolls great on multi surfaces. I’m going to to put another 12-15 miles on it tomorrow and then finalize mounting of aluminum panels. After that, tear down and off to sand blasting and a whole lot of polishing and paint.

The mad dash is in progress. Torn down for paint. Finished welding all fab work. Ground down welds and began molding.
Using Upol Raptor Liner on it.

Can’t decide if I want to distress like an old race car or not.

Odds are you'll be able to distress it naturally once you get to thrashing on it!

Sitting on it over night. Clear tomorrow.

 

[Palepainter]

Upgrading the wheels for this. I had them saved for Breezer clone. But have a bunch of wheelsers.

Rims go great with the dark blue stripe

 

[metalchewy]

Such a cool transformation!

I agree, the blue stripe ties the rims in well.
