Nice Donnie!
Thats ultra clean.

(I saw that orig. baby blue PK frame you picked up earlier this week too.... Can't wait to see what you do with that one too) (ps. sorry if that was on the downlow, but I know you'll do it right).

Thanks Matt .I am looking for my before pix .

And yeah man I could not let that frame get ruined by someone over there who would destroy that beautifully used finish . I just love the wear that frame has . I have everything to build that PK too !

Jeez dude . I am only taking a lunch break . I am allowed to do that aren't I ? haha .

I am not sure on the bars . They are really comfy though . no down sweep like the Schwinn box bars .




And thanks for the replies . I have quite a few more bikes to post too . I will do my best to get those up as well . All early stuff . ALL 79 and earlier .

Nice bike Donnie! BTW, are you working in a body shop as a painter? Im a Estimator in a shop (for a large Valley dealer) in Van Nuys. In my younger days, I was a painter, bodyman , etc. Again, nice bike, looks super clean.

[Monster-Robot]

Wooohooo! Nice job Donnie!

No microdrive here...

[S.Brothers]

a handsome bike, nicely done.

[Myke]

Very nice. Great build!!

[The 26incher]

Such a cool bike!

[Spur]

Nice! I think it has been mentioned already, but it was the first word that came to me, CLEAN!

Thanks guys . I have started putting together a tech thread on how I cleaned the motomags .I am so tired of people either powder coating them or media blasting them . That is not necessary . They were really crusty . And badly stained . The frame was really green with a heavy almost barnacle type build up . I had pics of that somewhere .

Guyster ,
no I used to have my own shop building and painting custom cars and hot rods . But now I paint high end fine art sculpture . It is noce working for someone else again . Now i just paint and do not worry about the headaches . The car discussed earlier in the thread is my wife's 64 t bird i am redoing . I am supposed to be getting it ready for a new paint job for her .
