Strick 9,

Sorry, Please forgive me baby, I was caught lusting after Scooby. You are still my first love (LOL).
 
I decided to use a sweetheart chainwheel my wife got for me a while back.
New crank and bearings are from Smoopy.

This is my 64 Ford F-100. I'd like to get this look for my build off bike so my bike & truck will match.

I used an automotive etching primer. Duplicolor red oxide rattle can, then I used flat black engine enamel. All rattle can. It covers well and is durable.
 
I really like the stance to your bike.

The wheels/tires/frame color combo really "pop" 8)

Pick up looks good too.

Looking forward to more.
 
I managed to make some progress this weekend. I put in the crank and chainwheel and test fitted the handlebars.
I'll probably change the handlebars, don't care for them.

So I put on the cut down chainguard. I think it will work. Just like the salt flats.

I cut down the handlebars to give the bike more of a tucked and tight look.

Hey JalopyJim,

Nice cuts on the bars. 8)
Good line and angle.
I gave away a pair to my neighbor and now...
I might have to steal this one for him.
Grips look good too.

Looking forward to seeing more.
 
I'm in the home stretch so I decided to break out the One Shot and lettered my number plate.
Sorry about the fuzzy photo.
