What bike did you work on today?

Little more added to the Airflow today. Almost ready to tear it apart for metal work, fender straightening and color!

and some day….a tank. Lol

Just tying to tighten the loose seat from swiveling from left to right on my 1940 Western Flyer
Cut the hardware store substitute seat bolt on my 1940 WF. This jewel just spun while trying to tighten it.

Ah..found a bolt that should work.

Didn't have to cut this one..it just snapped.

Oh well ...just go out tomorrow and get another bolt..or have it welded(JK)

Started assembly of a 39 B model build I’ve been working on .

Got the headset cups installed in the frame, greased the bearings and installed the fork.

Installed a stem and some crossbrace bars. Then installed the chrome drop center wheelset with some new clay tires and rolled it out of the garage.

Thought I’d call it a day, but the suspense of seeing the front fender on , got the best of me. Was gonna wait till I get some longer braces for the rear but went ahead and installed the braces I have on the front so I could get a visual of how the reverse painted fenders are gonna look.

Love the color choices Rick. The finished product will no doubt be another eye popper.

Thanks I got the idea from this drawing posted by @SJ_BIKER, would have liked the brown a little more mustardy color but a friend of mine and I agreed on this khaki , out of options I had.

61 Impalas had a similar color in their production lineup to the one you did and i think its a really good contrast.

Getting closer to riding the original paint 20's Excelsior I picked up from Mike @Rusty72..... Re-covered a saddle from @byke!punk. Wheels by me. Straying a bit away from the 26-er herd as of late.

Emblem moto is also close to rideable.

My friend that worked on my Robin fenders also welded my 1940 Hawthorne All American headlight..seems a common problem where the bracket pops off the "teacup" light..I asked 2 people to weld it."cant do it..too thin,etc" Mark said.."give me a second.." Now I just need my 1 aluminum truss rod to get this bike complete and ready to go through/finish..Ive had this bike for.. just over 4 years now..
