Russ's 1930 Tudor







This is my buddy Russ's Tudor. I friggin love it. I think he did a real nice job keeping this car looking like it came out of the field. He's an avid fisher, thus the shifter. He also pounded out the seat backs to match the tractor seat bottoms. Fuckin Killer.

Panhead



Here's the latest mockup of the Panhead. I didn't have the spring fork rods at the time and the sissybar is a little too far kicked back, but its starting to take shape. 

Land of the Rising Sun




Made this seat for my buddy's CB750 over the last couple days.

April is Filing Time!

Well if you are like me, you tell the IRS to go fuck themselves. 

But that doesn't mean you don't have to file. 

This is how you turn the neck of your orig BT frame into a pile of shavings. 

Step 1: drill a bunch of holes around the perimeter.
Step 2: knock out whats left with a hammer and punch. 
Step 3: Spend four hours straight with a file and Voila! A nicely shaped orifice appears!



This is what you end up with: a pile of shavings that from 64 year old metal. Great for many uses, like making you sneeze for two days because you weren't about to wear your respirator for four hours, right? 
If you're really hard core, you grab a piece of steel oil line and toot a line of the old Harley's skeletal structure just to say you did it.

Springer Gold

Alright, this is how you turn junk into good shit. This Offset springer showed up on my doorstep two days ago out of the blue! Ok I bought in on ebay, but nonetheless, I was stoked to see the package out front. So as you can see from the before photos, it needed a little help. So I performed some surgery, massaged it a little, and transplanted some new sleeves with a little artistic flair. 








As you can see, turned out pretty good, i'm stoked. Just waiting on the front leg to show up and we will be rollin! (or maybe Springin!)

A friend of mine brought over some old chopper mags today while I was in the garage and I picked this one out as my favorite. Denver's Choppers employee's personal scoot. Sweet. Hate to say I'm probably gonna copy the paintjob somewhat. Now I want to build my shovel like this! Dammit Dane, why'd you have to bring this shit over!
