Chopper bike build thread

[Elrod4u3]

Hi guys. A lot of you have asked me if I would post a build thread on my scratch built models so you can see the progress. I'm going to start that today so you can see my progress on my latest chopper motorcycle scratch built model. I've already taken some photos of my starting progress and if any of you have any questions on what material I'm using or how I put a certain piece together feel free to ask.

You're welcome, hope you guys have a lot of patience because this build is going to take awhile!

The back bone on that one would make the boys at Red Neck engineering proud, it looks just like one of their high curves frames.

I went looking for pics of their bikes and one of the first pictures was a good friends bike he and his brother helped me build my Fat boy into an 8in stretched pro street. This is Malcomb's bike its a RNe low life. At the time i was making an intake that looks like a top fuel bug catcher. It made it onto a lot of bad bikes including Brandon Bernstein's Bud Weiser bike.

It took us about a year of weekends to build. Then Malcomb and Mark looked at me and said, well what are we going to do with yours,? After a convo with the wife we spent the next 9 months of weekends designing stretching and lowering my fat boy into a pro street drag bike. When it gets a little warmer i will pull it out give it a wash and send you some pics on a DM. Im hoping to get it back running by years end. some things in life have been pure crap for the last 5 years. I will DM you more inspiring bikes we worked on for your creations.
