two tone hi po (getting close to done)

[Jay Moore]

i could have left this bike alone but what fun would that be. how often do you get a bike and leave it alone. plus it was in bad shape and i don't think it would have lasted another 60 years. that and i wanted to see if i could bring it back to life. i'm putting it here in the rat rod build off because it's rattle can paint. and no were near original. so far i took it a part and did alot of sanding. got the tank done or done enough and the headlight next is the frame. it will have 68 spoke chrome rims chrome springer and chrome fenders. every thing else white and yellow.

here is some after

more pics to come

Yeah, that tank looks better painted! I know there was some discussion about it, but it was pretty crusty! This bike will be sweet! ~Adam

That's pretty much how my entry looked when I found it 30 yrs ago, except no fork, rack, wheels, or seat. A little sky blue paint left inside the crank bracket.

Re: two tone hi po

got the frame back from sandblasting and there were a lot of pits. so i had to break out the filler bondo. it will take a little longer to finish now but will be well worth it.

NOT FAIR. Yours was finished in the first photo, before you started. Can't wait to see it's 2nd life. Nice

will be done with this build soon got it in the mock up stage only to find out the rear fender wont fit not to happy about that.
i got some new parts for the springer forks. i got a huffy beach cruiser frame and the real bent lowrider springer forks for 27 bucks off ebay. so i'm taking the best pieces from both forks to make one real good one then i'm going to build a ratty lowrider. the more i look at this bike the more i like it. it's for my girl thats why it is girly
i'll take better pics in the day light but here it is so far
