Well, I finally found my front fender with the curved brace. Looks Colson to me, but if it fits it stays! And the fender is decent enough to use as well. But now I’ll need to find a rear fender to match
Decided to use the peaked fenders instead of the Colson, so build is back on track. Not much new to report though. Work got busy and I’ve had no free time to paint the frame and fenders yet. Hoping to have some free time to get back on it soon
Small amount of progress today. Rack and chain guard have last coat of primer on. When it’s dry the it will be time to light sand and finally get some color on the bike!
Got the second color on the chainguard. Real happy with the way it turned out.
More work to be done on the fenders though. Bought some nice curved chrome fender braces, and curved rear rack legs for the bike this past weekend. Now I need to fit them properly and re-prime the fenders and get so paint on them. All in all, I’m very happy with how it’s coming out. Not restored, but it will be a nice rider for me. It will replace my regular rider when it’s done
Forks have their darts now too. Still working on the fenders and frame though. Rack has also been modded for the shiny chrome curved braces I bought over the weekend. Baby steps...
Not Hiawatha related, but I found a replacement fork for my ‘36 Shelby. Tweaked all to heck, but the steering stem was in great shape. And the threaded section was perfect. So I’ll show some before and after straightening shots. Then it’s ready for paint to better match the Shelby.
