Re: Tucker's Spaceliner Build "Knock off knock offs"

I painted this thing 3 time's , I should have left it alone , but you are pretty have to get it right after you sand blast it , its not perfect but , I'm not painting it again

And the border , I didn't do that because it show cases my 3rd grade hand painting ability

Re: Tucker's Spaceliner Build "Knock off knock offs"

I used to make 3D license plates with a vacuum form machine back in the day. The best way to paint raised letters is with a brayer (semi hard rubber roller with a handle). Preferrably wider than the tag. After painting the background color just roll the other color out on a piece of glass or clean metal & roll it across the tag. That's kind of how the old raised car tags were made also. I think it looks pretty good now though for hand painting. Just thought I would share that info in case you are not happy with it. Bike is lookin good! 8)

Re: Tucker's Spaceliner Build (licence plate an head light)

Any chance of you showing up at Cyclefest ?, I noticed your beach cruiser Fremont /Newark add, just to let you know I used to cruise Fremont back in the eighties, but my 69 Chevelle used to use a little more gas.

I haven't heard about this send me some more info

Thanks man , the stand gets the job done , for 36.90 free shipping on e bay , I can't complain the clamp is kinda loose on some bikes I just wrap the frame with a rag , works good for me

Hey Socratesjpt,

The head badge is awesome! 8)
I need to steal the method but not before the end.
It will look good with the fenders.

Go Spaceliners!

Re: Tucker's Spaceliner Build last minute change

Gotta say I don't normally like Gold highlights and parts on bikes... but I'm digging it on yours...! Real nice balance of the three colors...in my top ten(?) bikes so far....

nothing wrong with it, of course, but it just frustrates me i cant learn more about this kind of crank decoration. does anyone have any more information on this kind of thing? what bikes had them, how to make them? etc.
thanks
