Love it! Kinda kicks the haters to the curb when you create something this amazing from a frame most would have ignored as an "un-suitable candidate" for a classic motorized tribute bike. Well done sir! Rick C.

Your bike is simply awesome!

 

[Davezilla]

Awesome... just plain awesome... you would never think something that nice started out as a small framed fat tire bike... but against all odds this awesome machine emerges...
Do you have a special method to getting such a convincing patina? That thing looks like it sat in a barn for 50 years...

Thanks for the nice words
paint- heavy coat red primer, rub with dirt immediately, red paint immediately, more dirt. let dry a little, then final coat with more dirt.
seems like dirt is the key ingredient.
after that beat with tool of choice to get aged look.
