That thing looks awesome. Even if you don't pinstripe it I think it gives it a cool old school look.

I have a couple. 2 daily drivers and 2 project cars. My wife's daily driver. (My truck) My daily driver. 65 Ford My active project. 63 Rambler Next project, hopefully starting this summer. 49 Dodge My old civic from high school, rotting in a field. It had an Integra swap before they...

I had to switch from my laptop to my desktop and it still doesn't sound the greatest to me. Maybe in person, but not through any speakers I own.

The tractor seat pan is actually a good idea as well, I think a friend may have one sitting around somewhere. I really like stuff that is reused like that. I want to use tractor seats for a future project (truck) actually.

Yeah, I got mine at Walmart. It was like 8 bucks a can, but it is more than enough. You only use 1 oz per gallon of fuel. Also works in oil according to the can but I didnt try that.

I dont know nearly as much as many on this site but here's what I did when mine did something similar. I got it and they said it need the carbs cleaned and a battery, so i got a battery and got it running but it had no power and wouldnt idle right. I took off the carbs and sprayed them with...

Haha thats awesome. definitely doesnt look right on these bikes.

Man, that seat looks awesome. Very well done.

thanks reed, thats another great idea. A good friend of mine works at a recycling center, I'm sure I can go scavenge for materials.

Here is kind of the direction I want to head in. Im not the greatest at Photoshopping (actually Paint.net) but I think I did a decent job on this one. Before, as it sits now. and what i'm thinking

I love that first pic. I may do something similar and leave it at that. I really like how you did the seat. Do you have any other pics of it and how it is mounted on there? What shocks do you recommend for lowering the rear a little. On a different note, I totally agree with you when you talk...

Yeah, that would be great! you said you live in Kuna?

Yeah man, I drove up and everything looked the same out front but the gate was open and all the bikes were in three big piles back there. I didn't go inside but who knows. I will drive by there again shortly and see whats up, or call tomorrow and ask.

hmusket, you posted as I was replying to bcware. Yeah I am VERY hesitant to cut anything. I was hoping to go to that junkyard and find an old beater bike for a project so I wouldnt care what I did to it, but like I said, it seems like they are closing or something because all their bikes are in...

Yeah I have all the tools necessary and access to any scrap needed. I was thinking plywood would be easiest but I may go with a scrap base. I went by the Motorcycle junk yard an hour or so ago... APPARENTLY they are getting rid of all their bikes because there was a crane with a big magnet out...

Love the bike, I just got mine about a month ago. Same thing, Black 82 Heritage Special but with spoked wheels. Im afraid to touch mine but maybe your thread will inspire me.

I have been thinking about making a new seat for my 82. I am still hesitant to hack up the bike so I was thinking about making something that uses the stock mounting points. My seat has no rips or tears and isnt the least bit faded so I need to make something from scratch. There is a junk yard...

The welding up front looks pretty bad to the point that, in my opinion, it ruined the metal. It looks like they were welding with too high of temperature for the thickness of the metal and burned through. We all know that heating metal too hot can ruin the structural integrity, so I wouldnt have...

Yeah I love my Ford. It has its issues (fuel gauge doesn't work, odometer doesn't work) but it is a lot of fun. There are a handful of old trucks around here and I get a lot of waves from them, which is cool, but the thing sucks up the gas like there is no tomorrow. We have higher gas prices...

Thanks guys, glad you like the bike. Heres a few pics of the "other rides". 63 Rambler, 65 Ford, and 49 Dodge.
