1936 Colson LWB

[WetDogGraphix]

Final cleanup of the chrome.......can't have fingerprints all over these....
There is a little preview on my FB page.....I got a "Like" from @Dave Stromberger and that's good enough for me.....
Soon....

Sometimes the simplest of things baffle me.....Lucky for me I have a few other Colsons in the house...
I was trying to put this in backwards, with the serrated edge in, just wouldn't fit.....

This is the correct way, I found out

Progress on this sunny but cold day.....

More coming soon.......

Schwinn style tread tires???

I have all kinds of tires..... Are they on the bike yet?
Man, tough crowd

 

[WetDogGraphix]

Take two......Hope these are better..... @fordmike65
Didn't plan on working that hard today.....

I was dry fitting the fenders and those tires were the easiest to grab...

Until it's complete, there will be no more pictures......

Soon.......

Sweet. And now you won't have to worry about the paint falling off if you breathe on it too hard or ride too fast like the original Colson paint.

Just trying to figure out the Seat & Handlebars......

 

[WetDogGraphix]

The project is finished & it didn't end up where I thought it would.....Oh well, it was crappy when I bought it originally... The original bike was posted on here with the usual people bad mouthing it.....I wish I could find the original thread on it....My favorite line was "It sold, I wonder what idiot bought it?" Oh, fun times The idiot was me....... maybe some of you remember it...

Well, since I never could draw in between the lines, doing restorations probably isn't for me.....(The pics of the whole bike don't do it justice) Still working on a seat & bars, but this will work for riding around the drags in a few weeks....

And I'm outa here
