Winter Corvette build

Picked up this Corvette at the beginning of winter. Was just going to restore it but after discovering shipping costs to Canada I went for a build instead. Still not waiting for leather for the original Schwinn seat and grips. Going to change the tires out for standard rim s7 tires are too...

This is the thread I built the seat.

Spokes came in wheel built on my truing stand or the supercycle frame @MattiThundrrr has some weird obsession with.

Polished the bars some more almost there. Had I known mother nature was going to cooperate so well would have done them first. Maybe some metalcast in it's future.

You can have the frame to just have to sneak past the gate keeper does she know you have gas money or do you mock it up and put it away before she gets back.

She saw it once when it came home.
"What are you doing with that one?"
"Everything"
"When are you going to finish the other one?"
"Ummmmmm..."

Lol I wasn't sure it seemed to come out at times when she wasn't home you did not get it from me. I may not get past the gate keeper.

What to do when it's 20 degrees in November punch out early and take the long way home.

It's not a rule or anything, but graphics are usually on the drive side. Bonus points if they're across from the valve stem. There should be a little arrow molded or printed on the sidewall to indicate the rotation direction

Makes sense as it's the side you shoot photos of. I don't want to look and see what I did on my bikes now.
Stupid OCD.

I'm usually not that worried about details like that to be honest.if it rolls I'm happy

These bars fit me very well but not the stem so nice

Unable to find 22 mm clamp here and to cheap to order one next best thing

3mm filed off alot more than I thought

 

[ingola]

There a lot better

Bit off space might go further.

 

[horsefarmer]

But are the bars secure? Maybe add some grooves with a hacksaw.
