Pre serial Hutch Exper Racer - Project Budget Hutch
oldscool:
I would go with white on clear or get some made silver on clear, silver bits are easy to get hold off or get any colour and oven pride you could get a set of scratched or faded wheels quite cheap and polish them. Or even odd colours.
fatalan:
I have eyed up a few wheels and wondered if the oven cleaning products would work. Last year on an old bike of mine i polished the outer edges to hide brake wear. Looked quite good but gave me blisters and made me smell of autosol!
I do quite enjoy polishing but I wouldn't like to do it full time.
There seems to be a lot of bikes being broken (more than are being built it seems) so there seems to be some nice rare period items around reasonably priced. Some may argue that if the market is declining im wasting my time. The build is more because I want a hutch though rather than I want to invest in hutch parts.
Im not a fan of wheel restoration though.. I am rubbish at threading all the spokes... last one i did took days and lots of swearing!
I think black would not be a good look. Hutch US sell graphics and I have seen a man in France selling kits. I quite like the idea of chrome or white.

That's the only reason to build it! No rules saying a Hutch must have Hutch parts...
I am sure Del would probably do the decals...he is the best in the business and here in the UK
If it were mine which it's not I would go for chrome decals or silver...whatever the originals were, matched with the 'chrome' Hutch pads :daumenhoch:
fatalan:
Well.. it's still in progression. Got some Hutch restoration graphics (couldn't get hold of Del).
Mucked up the application
Need to buy more..
Essentially I didn't realise I should have used water so I've got some bubbles. They are not instantly obvious but I know they are there
Just wanted to say hello so the world knows the build didn't stop.. I just ran out of money at Christmas!

WAIT!! SCHTOPP!! you may be able to save the decals! get a sharp pin and prick the bubble then smooth over with a cloth,,,most should disappear! make sure you pierce the vinyl ..... :daumenhoch:
