Well after a manic few weeks putting together 2 bikes-finally think I have done some old kids bikes some justice :LolLolLolLol:
Wanted to make them look more like GT Race Bikes as never owned a race bike apart from a TA...but will be putting some new blue tuffs on the chrome one when I fancy a wobble.
Last parts of the jigsaw have arrived just needing a crank and looking forward to seeing the last one done.
The Chrome 84 survivor was a bit of an accident and got it just days after picking up the yellow one...the Mrs said I was nuts but hey ho :crazy2:
Anyway these will be the last builds probably - not leaving BMX just need to focus on other stuff and get some life back.
Thanks to everyone that has sorted bits out and offered advice along the way (too many to mention) Special thanks to Brummie for major help on the yella one.
Anyways enough of the bullshit-2 USA 84's - Chrome one is March 84 and all original decals from a garage in california bout 2 miles from where it was made back in the day.
Will wack up some more pics these are shite (better quality outdoors) when it's assembled next week :daumenhoch:
Yellow one will have a few parts changed as they crop up but reasonably happy with it.

Yeah this would have came out pretty soon after the pre-stamp.
Had the chance of chrome pre stamp one but I like the GT Stamp.

Yeah, all good mate! Been busy trying to get that elusive last build but have been beaten to the purchase 4 frames in a row so I'm giving up on actively searching LOL! Going to concentrate on getting my chrome 7x's stripped and polished and my Patterson restored and the remaining parts sent over from the UK! Got to get a few parts chromed too so going to be busy myself as we have an old school summer show in late October at Whiteman Park (http://www.whitemanpark.com.au/ ) and I want to have at least three bikes built for it.
