ok...pushed the nose in, rounded the mouth area up a bit, and gouged the chin up a bit. Taking this one up the bar tonight for some eye / mask work. I'm gonna have to glue one of the lower teeth & let that dry before I do anything else to his "purty mouth"...

and here are my latest old bike scores. I traded a few tikis today to my old-bike-guru buddy for some stuff & some work, so I have a few new projects "on the bench":

60's Hawthore, cut & stretched 3 or 4 inches. Needs the welds cleaned up with the grinder, and then some huge ape-hangers & big whitewalls.....future bar-hopper for sure...

'73 Schwinn Varsity, the "Juiced Schwinn", former 10 speed, now a single speed conversion, going to make a really fast, rat-style road bike with white seat, tir, & grip tape when it's done.

60's Dunelt 10 speed "the poor man's pashley" stripping it to the frame, converting to single speed & will get black powder coat, cream tires, and brown leather seat & grips. Basically making a clone of the Pashey Guv'nor (which cost like $1600 new). http://www.pashley.co.uk/products/guvnor.html
