amaes' Beach Cruiser Build

Picked this bike up last monday the 7th and have been working on it a few days this week.

The original bike was a Huffy Panama Jack bike. And being that Its lame having something that everyone else has or can buy I thought I'd make it my own.

Day 1 Stock:

All of the "wood" parts on it are plastic

Stay tuned for more updates

 

Thanks Mike. I have to say this has been one of the most fun projects I have worked on in a while. and its been cheap too

Here are some update pictures from last night. They are pretty crappy so I'll take better ones after work. So my idea to make the caps flush mounted to the wood didn't work. Every time I tried to drill the hole it would split the piece in half. So after rebuilding it twice I just glued them to the top. and they look pretty good that way i must say.
