I'm only 15 and this was my first project, but I think it turned out alright considering the lack of experience, and that I just kinda started unscrewing and redoing stuff with a $15 ACE Hardware toolset. But it's an old BMX bike my friend gave me with a completely broken front wheel, so I attached the front fork and wheel from a discarded 26" wheel Walmart mountain bike that I'd been using for parts to fix my actual commuting bike. So I guess this is my crack at a low budget, no experience needed custom chopper. I've named her Medusa. She's an ugly baby, but she's my baby. 


I plan to replace the seat and move it to a more comfortable angle but I need something to loosen up the nuts holding it in. They're completely rusted. I also plan to strip it down again, sand it, and spray paint it. Any color recommendations or ideas for what I should do with it next? I can't do any type of custom fabrication but I have spare time and tools that I'm fairly handy with, as well as a determination that most people around me call stubbornness.

Well it says I need to update my account for that and by that I'm assuming they expect me to pay money. So no. I dunno then. Any recommendations to get these pictures to work?
