1936 Colson LWB

[WetDogGraphix]

I have so many mixed thoughts on this project.....I wish there were pictures of this when it was new to draw from...I doesn't seem to fit my eye like I thought it would. The ivory stripes just look wider than they really are....I'm going to have to think about this one, restoration just might not be in my wheelhouse on this one...........

I have one more thing I'm going to do before I change direction........Stay tuned............

Yeah...... Your right, the fenders just don’t quite soot that bike. Maybe you should try running it without fenders.......... You doing a beautiful job by the way.

Here's another example I was looking at, and it doesn't give the same illusion......??????

I think it's coming out nice, can't wait to see it all dressed up. Nice work!

I don't know about their so called durable baked on enamel. It seems like these early balloon tired Colson's are about the least likely bikes to retain their original paint. I like that reverse paint ivory option though. I'd like to see one.

A deluxe ladies Vogue was found a couple years ago in reverse paint. I agree...the early Colson paint just doesn't hold up. I got lucky with my tanked 37 and black 37 double bar. The rest have weak paint.

You are about to see one real soon.........
