Texas Scott's Shovel

Scott and Dozer just finished up this build and I guess the motor is coming down here to get rebuilt.

People's choice

Wanted to say Thanks to Show Class for the opportunity to compete in the top 25, HUGE Thanks to everyone that voted for me, and Congratulations to the top 13. There was some VERY, VERY cool bikes in the top 25. I'm looking forward to seeing what is to come.

Modifiying a tank

  This two cap Paughco tank has been sitting in the shop for a couples years now waiting for use.

   It sat a little to high on the back bone. So first order was to cut out the old tunnel,

    and make a new one that drops the tank down about 2" lower on the back bone.

 Next order is the ignition switch. I love the look of the H-D hummer tanks with the switch built in so I decided to make my own version. Started out with a switch off the shelf and some 3" tubing.

   Here is the peices that will become the switch mount.

    Switch mount.

    No turning back now!!

  Except for the finish welding this is how it turned out.

The wiring tube (which was a pain in the ass) is run so that the wires come out in the tank tunnel and will be hiden once the bike is wired up.

Kevin's Visit

Kevin came down for the day, he was just bored so he decided to ride down for lunch. It was a beautiful 70 degrees so we rode down tp the beach for beer and seafood. A good time was had by all.

Tranny Problem

Our shop has been over ran with transmissions

A Few Randoms

68 Bonne

Started a new project, my 68 Bonneville. The Amal carbs were full of crap left over from the gas that has sat in them for a few years now.

Finding Stuff

Dave-o has been working on this springer that was extended but we found the real original legs inside the old ford radius arms.  So slowly but surely its coming back together.

I rode down to the beach since it has been in the 70's all week heere in eastern NC

BORN FREE build. Off with the neck...

 

 

I'm Honored and Super Stoked to have been selected to be one of the Born Free SHOW CLASS people's choice builders. The build is based around a HD knuckle frame which has had the neck cut and welded back on by drunken blind men.

Kyle came by this weekend and gave me a hand. We hacked the neck off.

With the use of Grandma's wooden yard stick and some "LASERS"  we stole. We are gonna get it on straight. Luckily it was so bad before, anything we do will be better.

 

Thanks Again to SHOW CLASS and BORN FREE  for the chance to do this.

Fat Bobs

I recently added a set of fat bobs on the Pan too

Front Wheel Changes

 So I have been pondering the idea for a bit, to take my invader and put it on the new Pan. The kick in the ass was Dave-o was in dire need of a spool hub for his Knuckle project and none of us had the money to buy one.  So last night we made the swap and WOW both bikes look great.

Yes we are one big happy family, and the Princess cup is not mine I swear.

Aquired

 Chip has aquired this new van, he is gonna fix it up a bit.

 And scored this new tank.

 Maddog scored this Shovel, he is fixing it up to be his new road bike.
