Everything here is original to this bike.

 

[KJV]

Degreased and scuffed dull.

 

[OddJob]

I'm guessing your 'Bird' is getting some new feathers?

It's amazing the bicycle parts ,
that a guy can run across when he's just going through everyday life. ;
Since it is unusually cool in Southern Ohio for this time of the year: I decided to make a can of soup for lunch. Would you believe...
In behind the cans of soup I ran across these NOS Torrington pedals ? Oh yeah, Jeweled Pedals... then, after lunch ..
was going outside. Well, decided to put on a long sleeve tee..
And in the bottom drawer of the chest where those T are kept.... run across NOS Wald handlebars..

WORD !

When saw this pic, especially with the Mexican blanket, I thought those handlebars had some wicked spiral engraving on them like some of the lowrider parts do.

Haha .. that's shrink-wrap.

KJV, you are living the bike life for sure!

Note to self: always check my clothes for bike parts before I put them on!

 

[KJV]

Nope ;
Tommy The Hood ... takes all credit this tine.

Believe it or not, this primer job is going to be painted.

 

[KJV]

Sprayed the hubs. Also have brush-on... so I did the tire side of the rim.

 

[KJV]

Wheels are painted.
Frame near ready for paint. Still need to get:
Fork, fenders ,
& chain guard ready for paint.
Going to need new tires for sure;
The old Carlisle tires are probably only good for a display.

 

[KJV]

Will be awhile before: getting back to the build.
STAY TUNED..

 

[KJV]

Well, we have a slight update:
Tires showed up today. So, I threw them on the rims.
