Handlebars are brass rod, used a small vice and pliers to bend. matalic paint on some parts. Same with exhaust pipes. Mufflers are maple with foil wrap. Mark bend locations with a marker. it's a trial and error process and hard to visualize sometimes. Used a foil bonded to maple for "chrome" parts. Used hobby wire for wheels and other trim. Seat is ebony. Handle grips are dowel drilled to insert handlebar - precise process!!
