I’m restoring a 49 Donald Duck bicycle for a customer . I’ve located all the missing parts except the long tank . Does anyone know where I can buy one or the correct dimensions that I can re create one ? Does anyone sell the stencil kit for the paint scheme abs the Donald Duck logos ?
Thanks !
 
That tank would be tough to make even from fiberglass because of the delicate ‘gills’ at the front. Good luck in your search. Here is my 24” I finished earlier this year. V/r Shawn

I can re make any part of I have one to go by . I re make parts everyday that aren’t available. Nice bike . So where did you find the stencil kit for the tri color paint and Donald Duck decals ?
 
I was able to trace the pattern from the original paint before I restored the bike and had bought a set of decals from MLC before they closed. Before anyone says "why would you restore an original paint bike?" below is what I started with. Not sure if you know but these have a different horn switch set-up than a typical tank bike. When you hit the horn the lights (eyes) flash whether you have the headlight switch on or not. V/r Shawn

Like the before better! Looked like it would have cleaned up nicely!!
I've done enough OA baths to know what is salvageable and this wasn't. There's a point where patina and crust diverge and this one was well down the crusty path! V/r Shawn
