Superman1984
Cruisin' on my Bluebird
I bought @jimbo53 's 1964 Columbia Fire Bolt he built as this pretty cool Rat
I took "the creature" for a Good mile ride this mornin' & it rides pretty nice once I lowered the seat a hair closer to low rider status.
I intend to make a few little changes here & there but Nothing too drastic or undo able;
1st I think a Monarch dog leg is in order as it'll fit the patina on the peppered chrome & of course the oL'School Kool look
2nd Since it's a Columbia I think the Columbia Superb White Wall tires I have will look at home once I dirty them & give'em a little patina
#3 L.E.D conversion to the existing head light & maybe 2 mini L.E.D 100 lumen flashlights in a Bug eye fashion for the tank for night cruises & since they're damn near impossible to find
#4 Stop Brake light
#5 I have some ideas I want to try with an oL'aged piece of Copper sheeting I pulled off a house for inserts between the rack & tank; #'64, Columbia Script & or a finalized name.
Debating some Black Light or Green L.E.D glow with some other ideas but not too sure how everything will tie in together 'til I start making it happen.
I had a '64 Ford Fairlane 500 so I'm kinda thinkin' Fairlane might be a fitting name since that year they removed the fins & it too was Originally Red/Burgundy.
