Re: Streched OCC chopper hooligan
You hit the nail on the head with the pieces of pipe thats excatly what I was planning.The oval pipe is a neat idea but I was only able to salvage the 9" I used on my frame or I would have streched it a little more without moving the seat back.The white walls are painted with rattle can I know that sounds Ghetto but it works great,I did this on a ratrod Goped Bigfoot I bulit a few years back and it worked good,the trick is to use good paint and only enough paint to cover {like two thin coats} and it works without cracking all over...I rode the Goped for over a year before I sold it and the tires looked as good as the day they were done! :mrgreen:

Fireproof said:I like yer idea of putting those holes there! 8)
My suggestion would be, first cut the hole(s), then, weld in a short section of tube and grind it flush. I bet you were already planning to do that weren’t ya?![]()
Lookin’ at those frames you cut up, you could use some of that oval tube instead of making round holes and you will have something even more unique. :wink:
Now, please tell how you made the white walls, okay?
