Restoration Projects / thought ild give everyone something to think about
« on: November 10, 2020, 05:36:44 AM »
a big motorcycle collector in Atlanta and a customer of mine was looking at my 1952 simplex at a car show. this guy is a serious collector. he will go to an auction and think nothing of dropping 150k on a couple bikes.well, he was staring at my 52 and finally ask, what do you think its worth. I said about 5000. he said this is the best one ive ever seen and it should bring north of 10,000 or more at any of the big auctions. so remember that when ya all using old bicycle parts and stuff. do them right and itll pay off

since ya all aren't talkin today I thought ild tell a story.

 couple years ago we were hosting a Georgia street rod association meeting here at the shop. I had one of our simplexs  sitting on display. well, this older guy(my age) kept looking at the simplex, then walk away for awhile. as I was going by,after one of the many times he was looking, he stopped me and said, see this chipped tooth in the back of my mouth. I said yes??? well I fell off one of these SOB things when I was a kid.

Other Things Simplex / simplex hauler?

this is a pix of my sons short school bus hes building and a rendering of what it will look like when done. its a 46 chevy . he mounted the body on a 2005 chevy box truck. most of the fabricating metal work is done and is close to being media blasted,body work and then paint.
wonder  how many simplexs will fit in it. he has a 3 yr old, can you imagine him taking the kid to school in this when hes older

I might add, everything has been fitted already, front end , steering column, doors reskined, cowl was extended, side windows(4) are power, so it will be pretty cool

Other Things Simplex / POWDER COATING or paint
« on: November 20, 2014, 11:15:44 AM »
I see posts on here all the time, should I paint or powder coat? if your comparing a spray can with powder, I guess maybe you need to spray bomb. if you want a pro job get it powder coated. unless you do painting or have a buddy in the bodyshop business, get it powder coated. most bodyshops wont even take in a job like this, and if they do, itll be a lot more than powder coating. powder comes in any color you want, just look at one companys color selection, www.prismaticpowders.com .  I hear all the time, well just how good is powder coating. well lets see, all lawn furniture you  buy is powder coated, all car wheels from the factory and after market are powder coated, all motorcycles are powder coated. so you see, just about everything you pick up is. nobody in production paints anymore. ALL bmw cars and bikes are clear powder coated. is it bullet proof, NO, but much better than paint. its very hard to remove verus paint. it wont peel like paint and will outlast most of us on this site for many years. to do a simplex frame in black, including blasting shouldnt be much more than 150.00. ive been in the business 20 years and if ya all have any questions, ild be happy to answer them. www.millerpowdercoating.com
