1958 Phantom Project

[deepsouth]

I have been gathering parts since January for this project. Forgot to put the chaingaurd in the photos. It's a mix of original and repop parts. Just ordered House of Kolor Kandy Red. Hopefully, she'll be ready to ride before too long. Last photos are the bike as found.

I agree. When it comes to candy color there's HOK and then there's everything else.

It's always good to spend time with a master craftsman.

Lovely parts pile, can't wait to see more.

Making some progress. Still lots more to do. The color is much brighter outside. This is just mocked up.

 

[deepsouth]

Just about done. Now it's time to tweak and tune. I'll make some pictures outside tomorrow. The color really pops in the sunlight.This is my first bike project. It's not perfect, but I I'm pretty happy with the results.

Absolutely gorgeous. Red 55 and later Phantoms are my favorite bike. If you decide to sell or flip that one I am only a little over an hour from you.
