USMC Bike

[Chips_Mahoy]

This is a bike I did for my uncle who is a former Marine Vietnam veteran. The bike was a late model retro Murray single speed cruiser. Instead if doing it in OD green or Crimson & Gold, I opted to to use colors representing the USMC dress blue uniform. I added various miniature emblems and decals to pay tribute to him and all USMC Vietnam veterans. Sorry for the photo quality......still using the iPhone. Enjoy!!

Thanks mmcdaniel 69. He's always been a pretty quiet guy when it came to talking about his time in Vietnam but understandably so. This was a complete surprise to him and I think he appreciated it without words.

Loco-joe.... It's been added sir!
