Building a '52 Boardwalk Roadster

Someone gave me the frame and, with my OCD, I couldn't leave well enough alone! Git "R Done!!!

Very Nice--keep us updated---Just one thing---your hammer has seen better days--time for a new one (joking)

I actually found the hammer one day at the beach! Someone must have been setting up a tent or something and there it was, a brand new Estwing hammer in the sand. I've had her ever since....

I've had her ever since....

And short of losing it, you will have it forever. Mine's lasted that long...

Looking good. A few years ago i had an original OG paint prewar frame that needed that fork, sigh.

I took the frame to the powdercoat shop to have it chemically stripped and they report that the frame is cracked. Uh-Oh....

Nothing a lil mig wont fix....

Ya, it's a boardwalk bike, not a show bike right? Weld, fill, paint, done!

Some tire choices: I may go with the cream Electra vintage diamond 26 x 2.35's though
