48 Autocycle project

Today my light cover showed up. Some one painted it at one time and most of that paint is falling off. Gonna get a neat skull lens for the light, a company called rollrite goods has some bad ass lenses BTW. Rims are almost done soaking and then I will scrub and polish them by hand. Service both hubs and install the new tubes and tires. Stay tuned folks!

Tonight I got the front rim cleaned and polished, serviced the hub, and installed the new tires/tubes. The backing plate I installed is shoe less, like a dummy kinda. Just there for looks. The cream tires are pretty sweet, and there is a good amount of chrome left on the rims still.

Today I got the back rim, hub, and tire sorted out. Installed the chain and chain gaurd as well. I still am waiting on the lens for the light and need to do a polish on the rims a bit more, wax or use boiled linseed oil on the paint as well. Pretty happy with the overall look of the bike, even though the chain gaurd doesn't match. Once I get a break in the weather I'll get better photos of it. Stay tuned
