The "Kansas Kid" WWII Hand Me Down Special

[oldfart36]

Recently finished this one, it was a lot fun doing this bike.

The bike is based on an early 30's Shelby. The goal was to represent what a young man might have put together in the barn, from items he'd been given, and or found. Everything is original to the era. Bike has totally been gone thru, is a great rider. Original sheet metal has been stored.

Cool.
It's nice to see something that is true to the roots of what the term Rat Rod means to a lot of us!

Thanks for this! I really wanted to accomplish just what your talking about. Seems some just don't quite get it.

Thanks Pick. Coming from you (a fellow rusty brother) that means a lot.

Thanks, the light was actually made by a close friend, out of period pieces, for me and the bike. We had a great Saturday brainstorming.
