Gav's Haro Zippo Retro Master Build - Finally Finished

(1/9) > >>

GavinDavis:
I picked up a cheapy Zippo a couple of months ago that was badly listed on the bay :), originally it started life as chrome but when I collected it, some of the chrome had started to bubble and flake around the downtube and the stays so my plans to polish it up and keep it standard went out the window.

I really like the look of some of the retro masters that people have done in the past so decided i'd give it a go.  This is how it first looked when I got it:



I stripped the bike down completely and decided to have the frame and forks powdered white.  I then ordered the 85 Master decals from the one and only Del :)

Got the frame back yesterday and was really impressed with the powder job! :) ....Took me a while to unmask the areas that they had masked for me but its all part of the fun i guess :)






I couldnt wait until it was built to get the decals on so I set about it like a hooligan! :)





Finally got it finished after a few months of it sitting around  :) ...Heres the spec and the finished build:
