Very Sad Prewar CWC Supreme

Little sneak peek, had a 2am test ride the other night.

Test ride #2

Wow this bike rides nice !! Shockmaster forks are like riding on a cloud mixed with the springer seat it just floats down the road.

I've got a few more goodies coming in the mail so stay tuned in.

Returned from the dead! Chainguard is one of the goodies coming? Will you faux some paint on the fenders and rack? It might look pretty good with some paint on some of the metal. Looks good!

No I'm still on the hunt for a guard, don't know about paint yet. Guess I could hit the metal parts with some gloss white. But I'd never match the original patina. Don't know yet might have to experiment a little

Experimenting with paint colors think I nailed down some good matches.
Shot the color on some old bars and did a little testing with faux patina.

Also highlighted the super cool good year tires.

Ripped the whole bike apart again, so I could start painting.

Seat pans shot in black satin.

Filled the extra holes with JB weld, sanded it down after it dried.

Well I have to admit it looks better then the bare metal, the lights in the garage make the paint seem brighter. It actually matches really well.

Started on the fender darts and pin strips, and I've gotta give credit were credit is due. I don't have the hands for this kind of work so I had to ask for help from a 30 year long career artist for this .

Finished up all the fender details and shot it with the last bit of paint.

Got some fun accessories in the mail to finish up the build.

The faux patina turned out great after all the weathering.
