Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Some updates. It is CRUNCH TIME...I want the blue and red bikes wrapped up for Friday night's big cruise-in.
- I got my new iPod, and tried out the transmitter. Transmitter is defective. Having another shipped over-night for Friday.
- Blue bike is back together and able to be ridden. Sadly, the Bendix transmission may need to be rebuilt. It will not stay in gear.
- I FOUND THE FABRIC material to finish my antenna. ALSO, the copper coil I ordered a month ago came in. Finally. It arrived in Cincy a couple weeks ago, but got sent to Florida for whatever reason and we know what happened there. I was less than pleased. Any who...this copper wire is the same exact diameter and type used in the original antenna. So excited to begin making these!
I also did a significant amount of body work on the rear fender. It was full of dents, lots of little dents. It is here that I really admire these hand-painted stripes. Pure art.
