With this being my first build posted on this great site I will try to keep it pretty well documented. So, here is a huffy cruiser I picked up for $80 several years back. Stripped the paint and switched to the springer fork and 144 spoke wheels a year ago and it's been sitting since...
Could've just left it be, but it had more potential.
1/4 in twine wrapped forks and seat tube (thanks to some previous builders for this idea).
Mock up wood tank.
Mock up wood skirts. I have decided to go a different direction than the wood, but it lets me visualize.
Primer.
Sage Green (photo looks kinda flat, but it's fairly glossy and looks great). And hole in the downtube from when I had a 50cc motor mounted on it awhile ago. I'll cover that with something later.
Some cork, burlap, and coat hangers are next on the agenda...
