The Pursuit Special- Road Warrior themed Colson

[blackdiamond]

Here is there frame I will be building off when it arrives, a unknown year colson, unlike last year when I did a full fledged rat rod, im going with more a Road-Warrior apocalyptic max max theme, And yes it will be classified as a bomber.

Now my updates will be slow for the first few weeks, because im going to help the effort of cleaning up my home town Vilonia as much as possible.

If you post the serial number, I can tell you the year. Also Let me know if you want a Colson badge!

[MazdaFlyer]

Mad Max should fit right in, sounds interesting.

I have some araya 26 in alloy wheels ive had for a while I plan to use on it, and possibly some chrome apes to symbolize the interceptor's blower-supercharger

Well its a 1941 Colson, so the year is no longer unknown, but now it almost seems wrong to use the Japanese araya wheels on the classic American frame considering what went down in '41

Oh well, im part German anyway and its a post-apocalypse themed build so it wont matter lol

I like the Jap rims on a '41 bike. The irony is what makes it cool.

Ok heres a 5ish minute sketch of roughly my plan for the build

The tank plate badge thing will be attached to the frame via 3M Automotive Adhesive Tape- the same stuff holding the emblems on newer cars.

That way I am not modifying the Colson's frame any. It will also have a ghost black RRB Decal on the downtube.

Haha awesome idea! "No! It's my snake, I trained it, I'm going to eat it!"

There are some things that shape the rest of the world's view of Australia, that we are never going to be able to live down.
What made Max mad is one of them.
Although his car ended up pretty rat rod in the end, so it should lend itself well.

Man I wish they sold that car in the US, that 73 XB falcon is one of my favorite cars

 

[blackdiamond]

Thinking of using Kenda small block eight tires for it to fit with the "last of the v8" connotation

I want to see the "Zoomie" kickstand! I don't think that's been done yet and might be one of the coolest things I've seen in a while!
