			<link>http://musclebikeforums.com/topic/11395/UGV-s-The-DONK-Resto-mod</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ I was saving this for RRB's build off, but That would be the wrong audience for it. I am going to start with my 26x1 3/8 Iverson Drag Stripper. When I am finished I will have a hot wheels inspired larger version of the original 20 inch Barris bikes. Hopefully I can do it justice.<br>
<br>
On a side note if it falls outside of Resto mod and into full blown Kustom let me know and boot me. Does pro paint does that make it a full blown Kustom because it's in the 40's in jersey. I am also making my own handle bars. 

 I will get pics up tonight. ]]></description>

			<link>http://musclebikeforums.com/topic/11213/RetroVintage-Glo-2-0-Kustom-Class</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ I decided to go again with the kustom class for this year's build-off. I plan to build a lowrider style bike, and work again with theme of my last year's build. From building "Glowrider" last year I learned quite a bit and have many ideas for refinements to make to the overall design, look, and functionality of this kind of bike.<br><br>The base of my project will be an old Sears Spyder. I love the curves of this bike and feel like it will fit the style I am going for.<br><br><img src="http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e313/wesleymccoy1/2012%20MBF%20build%20off/IMG_3165.jpg" alt="image"><br><br>I have already ordered and received flexible LED lighting strips from China. I have about 13ft of lighting and may get more before this is done.<br><br>Also to up the Ante, I am adding a 2.1 amplifier and speakers to this, and if I can get a small one and fit it on a subwoofer for under the seat. Figure if I am going to create a disturbance, I might just as well add sound tot he experience :)... ]]></description>
