What bike did you work on today?

Shelby.

I was reluctant to disassemble this beast to paint match the deep fenders blue patina to match the frame and forks, but I finally talked myself into it. Several weeks later it’s finally back together and the fenders are blue instead of red.

Here is the old look:

And here is the final product:

I have to thank @daveK for much inspiration!

Just revived this crusty 35 Shelby Airman Deluxe. I followed the owner’s instructions as to what he wanted done. It got a complete rebuild of course and is now a solid dependable rider. Before and after.

Forks for Cabe customers rethreaded and shortened to length with keyway cut.

Three more Westfields a step closer to sailing down the road again!

With parts cleaned, and parts yet to be cleaned the '61 Flightliner is coming along.

Stripping old house paint off my Rollfast today. Time consuming mess, but the original red is quite nice under there

Nice job Jeff glad you have taken on that cool project and that you are seeing some positive results!

What are you using to remove the housepaint?

 

[Just Jeff]

Goof off and 0000 steel wool. The dark red cleaned off nicely, but that white overpaint acts like it’s gonna take an act of Congress to get it to come off

And done stripping paint today! Also swapped a different rear wheel on and I’m loving the look. Guess I need to build the front to match now. I’ll save that for another day

I like the back wheel. It just looks right.
