1952 Firestone Special Cruiser (Monark built Rocket). Mother Nature did the Patina Match on this one. Really cool how this one aged so evenly over the years!
I believe my Commander was born with an Aerocycle style Troxel as most were..But jumped on the opportunity to make it catalog correct when this early version Lobdell popped up on eBay recently. I think it qualifies as a perfect patina match.

Got lucky when @rustjunkie (Thanks again!) posted up this original condition 1938 Motor Master saddle a couple months back. My Motor Master came with a great saddle so my next thought was to put it on my 1938 CWC built Zep. Looks like it was born with it, a perfect patina match!

Here is a before and after of my 51 Black Phantom that was bought parted out from a local vulture and rebuilt using all original finish parts. The seat was nothing short of a miracle find in a random facebook ad that was mislabeled and matches the finish perfectly! Plans are to switch out the grips, find a better front fender and add the Cadet speedo Ive been saving.
I have bought three different sets of Dallas bars trying to get the right ones for this bike. These work best; they also complement the John Alexander bicycle flashlight holder. Next modification will be a crustier wheel set and cranks.
Building up this 1950 BF Goodrich frame to resemble a D12 or D13 model. Well i took a stroll thru the fender pile in my attic and what are the odds that i had a fender that is not only the right color, but shockingly the same exact patina/fade!! Looks like it never left the bike!
Now I just need to find a front fender.....if anyone has one that would be wicked!
This bike was originally found incomplete, so each successive owner has added what they could find.
When the original color tank showed up on eBay, I knew, it was a match made in Heaven.
The only thing left to find now, is an original paint rack.View attachment 775906View attachment 775907View attachment 7759081937 Firestone Fleetwood Supreme.
