What did you use on the link bars?
Paint or powdercoat?

maxxxy · 03-20-2013, 12:50 PM

well no work on the truck this week but i did get to put together my streched beach cruiser i got the frame from a friend of mine a while back but it was missing a bunch of parts the last thing i needed was the handle bars and i found some at a yard sale today the guy said they belonged to a motorcycle so i put them on and took it for a cruise around the block here are some pics....

Low79 · 03-24-2013, 01:26 AM

thanks bro...... i really like the streched look my buddy had the frame sitting on his back yard for years until i seen it and asked him for it i knew he was never goin to put it together....

77ChevySharkBite · 03-25-2013, 11:14 AM

So now, when your finished with the truck your going to take the bike with you to car shows so you can cruise around on your bike right?

That bike it sweet looking!!

made2drag · 03-25-2013, 11:43 AM

that bike's frame is begging for that blue paint to match the truck...but you would have to make special brackets in the bed to carry it....that would be the icing on the cake
