[QUOTE="JNOACK, post: 1196260, member: 25683"] I actually started a thread for this build in the summer for the Rat Rod Build Off, but the only thing I had a chance to do was mock up some parts on the frame. I was waiting for the frame to come back from powder coating and it never did. Therefore I'm picking up where I left off. The idea is a larger version (26/20) of the iconic Canadian CCM muscle bike, the Cobra. This was a one year bike, and many collectors would argue it's the most sought after nanner north of the border. I, unfortunately do not own one yet, so therefore I must build one. However it wouldn't be any fun for me to just build a replica. I gotta go custom.
