Hot rod inspired arco

[slick 73]

I bought this bike as a rough and haggard roller last summer with a couple other frames as a packaged deal. when I first saw the bike, I immediately formed a plan to build it as my sons first bike. Seeing how my son isnt even 2 years old yet and I really want to build the bike with him, I put the bike on the back burner. Since then I've decided to throw the bike together temporarily as a traditional hot rod inspired build. I've pretty much got all the parts to assemble it including a little h35. Enough talking, here's some pics...

A little mock up today

I did a quick spray can rebuild on the h35 then slapped on some new decals and made a custom straight pipe. I hope this is enough power to haul me around

tis the season for whitewalls. Nice job on wheel and tire. I'll be looking to see how it turns out and may do the same when I get to my ARCO.

Thanks owend! This was originally going to be a rat roddish style build, but it has kinda snowballed into something a little nicer

 

[buckeye]

Nice to see it happening here. Looks fantastic.
