Working on a replacement wheel I got from Eric for my DX.
Dealing with brake discs and reinstalling the New Departure Hub....second one I've done.
Tedious to say the least.
had to break in my new antique medical tool sterilizer ( it is the heated model...Pelton of Detroit)
Filled it with wd40 and dropped the soaking tray...pretty cool.
Thanks Mitch.
Nope, I don't have a stencil. I am not quite sure how I am going to go about painting it. I want to do something different with it. If I repaint it to look original I won't even get back what I put into it. I am better off making it into something I like. These bikes really don't sell. I saw a completely restored one on Ebay for $750. No one bidded on it. He dropped the price to $650 and it still hasn't sold. It is definitely a sad time to sell a redone bike.
My "newest" project is a "pile of parts" at best for now...
... and I doubt I'll go much farther until I get all the parts to build a matching ladies too!
(Of course there's still a little problem of a bad fork I'm trying to get resolved...)
... but it'll get there in due time!
Of course I don't think this thing looks Anywhere Near as exciting as Sped Man, Nicinator & Larmo63's projects do!!!
Update...finally.
Installed the tires and the S2s. Finished greasing all the bearings and attempted to straighten the fork somewhat....its better.
Took a test ride and it is smooth.
The DX is nicer that I thought it would be.
Gave it to the nephew since he found out there was a Starlet on the way for his sister.
65 Western Flyer Strato Flyer.
Chrome frame is as usual, in need of removal. The nephew and I started scrapping the damaged clear coat. Long way to do on this one. The last frame needed the clear coat removed took 3 months.
