Thanks, Luke. I am pretty far along on the project, it hit, midway in the build off, so, I held up posting anything until the final vote was tallied. More pics to come
WHOA! Thanks for the tip!I've had really good luck with rub n buff metallic paints for the steampunk look. I've ordered it online, but Michaels might have it. I spray the parts flat black, then I squeeze a little on my finger and kind of smear it on. Or, a soft paint brush gives it a more scratchy look if you apply it that way.Then when it dries, you can buff it to a sheen. It's a cool look.
I can't wait to see more of this build! Killer stuff so far!
Thank you, sir!
Yep, I do recall that now. Still mulling over getting some plans from "Atomic Zombie."

Now, THAT, is shear genius! I see old 35mm lenses at the thrift store all the time, will grab one, next trip.How about something like this tail light but not mounted with duct tape and bailing wire. Lens came from an old Polaroid I got for about $2 from goodwill. The body was molded into the camera so I cut it off with my saws-all. I think it would look cool on your bike. You could make a headlight as well like this.
