1938 Roadmaster Supreme (4-gill)

[fordsnake]

I just finished stripping off the old paint and priming this RMS. I was amazed at how straight and clean the tank, rack and fenders were. The frame does have the CWC locking fork (not installed). I'm still looking for a Lobdell horizontal spring seat, and one Silver Ray glass lens. Hopefully someone here on the CABE can help me with the missing parts before painting it in the spring?

Silver Rays....ahhhhh

Great looking bike but, those double Silver Rays make me drool.
I'm gonna have to get me a prewar just so I have a reason to pay for a set of those rays.

I've been debating colors for several months now, I usually do a color rendering before I start (see below). I worked up every color offered in 37-38...I'm vacillating between Maroon & Cream and Black & Red (not a Roadmaster color combination).

Jim, who's riding, I'm just enjoying looking at it! I'm thinking about the "Bluebird" grips, shown on the '37 literature and the patent....LOL!

Mike, so do I...there's some debate on if it's correct...I really don't care. It's illustrated on the 37 patent and that's good enough for me!
