Yep- I bought one a few years back, as well- don't know how I ever managed without one, now.Ouch that smarts! Happened to me too. I just picked up a cheap exhaust pipe expander from HF & good as new

rode it maybe 20 miles yesterday, I think it's going to work out well. still a few planned changes, but I like the idea of a work in progress.

Very nice!
Awesome ride, I remember seeing this one in the for sale section. I wanted to pick it up but didn't have the funds. Looks good man.

I've decided to make this into a complete fantasy theme bike.
here's the idea:
it's 1949 and you're 10-14 years old. you've spent your whole life in wartime and are as patriotic as any American boy of the time. for Christmas you get this Huffman made Thunderbolt bicycle. the P-47 Thunderbolt is one of your favorite planes of WWII, so you decide to dress the bike up a bit.
so I went shopping on ebay a bit, and here's what I found:
1 vintage cereal box P-47 plane spotter card
1 sheet of vintage looking nose art and Japanese kill flag decals
2 P-47 Thunderbolt Pilots association patches
and from a post in the military bike section,
2 military looking bags to be made into saddle bags (I'll sew the patches to these)

a new decision to make. do I overcome my aversion to drilling new holes in old paint, or do I add this cool old light for night riding safety?

How often are you going to ride it at night ... ???
I am not sure I would drill it ... it's tough when it has not been drilled to actually be the one to drill it first ... but as you stated it's a fantasy bike - so make it yours ... have fun with it & keep us posted here - Ride Vintage - Frank

The whole bike is original paint, but the fenders are not original to the bike. I think if someone's gonna drill it...Scott should be the guy!
