That 70's chopper

[Fv2]

I won't start on this til mid June, but decided to start a thread.
So far all I have is the fork and a 24x3 rim, the fork may change...maybe.
The frame I'll build myself, just have to finish a couple other projects and take a vacation first.
That said, here's what I have.

Love those indian style springer forks and like the idea of it being used on a 70s chopper.
This will be fun!

 

[Funkme]

Well thats a great start. Cool forks.

 

[OddJob]

And a goodly supply of bubble wrap to aid you with those difficult decisions, I like your forward thinking...

These are the projects keeping me from building a bike. I can't wait to finish them and finally get back to working with steel.

That Mini-Caravan is amazing! Do you document your build somewhere? (like instructables or so?)

I started it in a Facebook group called diy teardrop campers community, but my account got hacked and I got banned from Facebook for 3 or 4 months.
I ended up using my wife's account, but a lot of the early pics are missing and I don't keep stuff like that on my phone.

The caravan is based on a French design called the carapate Caravelle i think, I saw it on YouTube a couple years ago.

Thanks, I'll look up that design.

This is what it's based on.

Yeah, that's the one I found as well. I love it. You sent me down a loooong rabbit hole with this...

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Dangit, I just bought a pop-up. Those custom jobbies are way too cool!

I built mine on the frame of a roached out pop up.

This rabbit hole you sent me down made me think about doing something around these lines on the base of my 1975 trailer in the style of a pickup bed camper... (if I ever sell my 1977 Tabbert caravan....)

Mine is almost completely unmolested. Minor modifications in the future, but not much

I've seen some cool truck bed campers.
Between that Facebook group and YouTube there's a lot of cool ideas.

Yeah, I'd probably just tidy it up an run with it in that case.

 

[Fv2]

Trying to figure it all out.
Just feel like this picture makes my shifter look small.
