Love the Shelby!

Might need to check that fork. Not sure if it's just the camera angle but it looks like it might be pushed back a little.

Hi There ,
Yes, it is slightly pushed back, I have never straightened a fork before, but hopefully its safe to ride. No cracks in tube just slightly bent
CHEERS

Had a bit of a play around today , cleaned the old chrome with aluminium foil and acid.
Starting to put it all together to see how it looks

Wow! Looks amazing!
I really like the Thick n’ Quick tire combo on there.

The 'good Dr T' has given the perfect diagnosis ^ on this build so far! T n' Q tires on the black rims, your perfect blue match to grips / saddle / paint ( tell us how you made that happen? ), that stellar paint job with the darts, and your cleaning up of the vintage chrome ( foil and muriatic (?) acid ? )

The stance from those side views is killer! You just got my attention in a big way!

Paint turned out great.
The Thick and Quick tire combo looks good too.
Is that fork bent a little?

It happened one afternoon after a couple of lemonades... i was looking at some oars i painted for a feature on outside cladded wall. and i use phosphoric and foil for the chrome clean up

Thanks for the visual and insight into your process! Now I can see where your paint idea Oar-riginated from...

Having my Sunday fix.. Cleaning up the chain ring and crank, i took it from a modern beach cruiser. Also fitted some white pedals to see how chain guard looks . Does it need wheel guards and a rack ? The wheel guards might not look too good with the tires

 

[OddJob]

I like the look of that the way she sits. Guards or fenders on the wheels will hide that beautiful tire set up I think. All of that black tire and white wall showing really sets off this build!

Thanks for the feed back , I think your right no guards

Clean and classy build

Nice work on this, J7! It ought to be a smooth roller. Excellent paint job.
