Couldn't resist tapping the old rivet holes and getting the head badge back on.

And reinstalling the crank

Still SO much stripping and painting to do.

36 days Skip! 36 fast-flying days.

I'm beginning to worry if I'll make the deadline.

Can't find the chrome tank bits. Lost the truss rod. Cross threaded the fork tube.

It was a good day yesterday. :x

Re: thatismytruck vs. ifitsfreeitsforme

Was able to get the threads traced with a die at a local shop here near work http://www.northhavenbike.com/. They were very nice there and interested in the old bike. So I bought a nice set of all black lock on grips that will look good on my project.

They still have that Haro Premium BMX that I really want to get for Boy. tempting .......

Re: thatismytruck vs. ifitsfreeitsforme

Worked on bike last night and will some today at work. Need to turn something on the lathe and also adding a bar inside the beehive to keep it from springing. Front tire is too big to allow any spring travel.

... also adding a bar inside the beehive to keep it from springing...

clever.

Re: thatismytruck vs. ifitsfreeitsforme

It's a burden.

 

[thatismytruck]

Re: thatismytruck vs. ifitsfreeitsforme

Didn't get to use the lathe, but got a couple of things done.
I hope I find the upper truss for the springer, but if I don't this will work.

Will finish this at home. Need to drill one more hole and give it a bend. This will make my Beehive non-functional. It was really bouncy anyway. This will make the bike ride better.

No. I'm gonna trump your Safety shield with it suckah. You'll see.

Re: thatismytruck vs. ifitsfreeitsforme

This wheel set might not make it onto this bike. If you know my uncle, you know why.

Re: thatismytruck vs. ifitsfreeitsforme

Did a little construction and mock this evening. The no travel springer will work out well. NOt sure if I need it anymore though 'cause I'm not using the supersize wheel and tire, but I want it since I think it will ride better.

first one that notices what is wrong with the photo wins world acclaim. I didn't notice until I previewed this post. doh!

I also decided to use another wheel set I have laying around. :shock: black hoops chrome spokes. Will use the tires I have for it even though I don't like them. I thought I had a photo of them. not really exciting to look at though. Now I think of it I might have two tires I like better. Going to look ....
