A day in the life of ciao

 

Last week I picked up a trashed Ciao frame a cracked rear Grande mag . I bought the frame to hack apart and use parts to weld to my frame...Simonini dreams.

So after thanksgiving dinner I brought both frames to my dads shop to finish up welding my frame and to cut apart the other.

As I was cutting apart the tank I decided to hack apart the rear end and make a sick fender.

                                After I got everything cut apart and removed most of the rust

                                                                I went onto welding...

                                         Ciao was much happier with my welds this time around...

and the lovely couple...

                   Then a light bulb went off and I decided i was going to try and fix the crack in  mag

so i took an old fender and cut about a 6" strip out of the side

I put er between the tire and wall of the rim and took hammer & punch and bent it to match the curve of the wheel

.

After that I went and built this deck

and then came home and gave Ciao a hug  and went back to work on the wheel...

I filled the crack in with JB weld.. It is not pretty but I'm thinking it will work. 

THEN!!!!

SHAZZAAAM!

I love this moped.
