1948 Firestone Super Cruiser

[KelRod]

My 1948 Firestone Super Cruiser that I am slowly putting back to close to original. Hardest part is figuring out how to do the tanks. Do not have the dual headlights or a correct seat. Debating on whether to put the original rear rack on or not.

1st pic when it became part of the family in the late 1980's. Sorry on pic of it in white house paint.

2nd pic of of when I pieced some parts on it and decided to put it back to close to original in 2014.

3rd pic is of what it looks like right now.

I actually have a detailed pattern for this bracket (Flat aluminum stock with rounded edges with a few bends in it if someone needs it Jeff

Found bike of when I did the bike as a Harley track bike

Well got it done. Does not have the Firestone lettering but that is okay with me.
