its coming along great man!. at 1286 lbs thats not a heavy car at all, must only just be nudging 600kg's, impressed by the effort here!

I had to do a day shift today but was home by 1pm so I got stuck into the frame! Those who have followed my earlier builds will know whats happening in this first pic! I couldnt help but throw an extra aspect of customization into this frame, to do just the stretch and post move wasnt...

How we going with this one, I too are diggin the flipped frame, seems to remove an awful lot of work, seems to be just right and the rake looks bang on bro 😎

I came home at 4am, didnt get to bed till after 5 and woke just before lunch, felt drowsy and horrid most of the day but did manage to finish off the seat post move. Its actually a piece of old BMX forks that were bent and ive been cutting bits off them for some months now. I managed to fab...

awwww man im lovin those forks n blue bars, I was in the motorcross shop last week and spied some pit bike bars but @$70 and up I took a wide berth but their metallic color choice's were amazing! this will be the sickest girlies bike ever!

The latter

didnt get a lot of time today, Rains gone for a bit so im off for an arvie sleep before work tonight. I did however get most of an important job done.... The new seat post. I didnt like the original bent rusty post and due to me stretching the bike I now had to get the post back even further. I...

I managed to get the whole thing tacked on its all sitting nicely. Remembering I still havnt made myself a jig so its the trusty eyeometer still! lets face it, even with a jig your still using the eyeometer only things progress much quicker coz youve got faith in the straightness of the whole...

So everything was cut to size, the extra length required the use of the "SOK" frame widening tool, (Car scissor Jack) and I opened her up, I only had to make about 1.5 "of room so they married up to the rear drop outs which were cut off the original rear system.

I chopped the old drop outs off where I thought would be a great place, leaving extra for a sleeve to go inside the new bits. the new bits consist of some old seat n chain stays I had cut up ages ago, these were for the "Bmx Ute" tray support but never needed so many, I now wish I didnt cut...

As the heading states this is gonna be a very "Ambitious" attempt at getting over the line on time! After staring at the fat tire MTB I picked a few months ago, for like 2 days, I decided it just wasnt gonna look like I wanted so I decided to go with the old muscle bike frame I picked a week or...

paint came up great robbie!, I know all too well about dropping your parts after painting, it shouldnt happen but ....ahhh well im in your boat too ha ha ha ! Great color choice by the way!

Wow im impressed at how this has turned out!

well I managed to get the bike finished! there was a bit of mucking around with the paint, we had hot n windy days which made working outside hard but I got there, In usual SOK fashion I have chipped and scratched paint in the re-build phase Grrrrrrrr!!!! ahh well its no worse than when...

Theres no doubt the eleccy cars are a standout achievement in themselve's, in reality its a technology over 50 yrs old, who remembers the E-type jag (owned by jag I think??) back in 1971, powered by GM electric motors to the rear and car batteries taking up the entire underbonnet section... this...

better stop working out, the next thread will last longer LOL

I tried sanding, then more paint stripper but its just too laboursome, the bars went into a BBQ fire, I re-birthed the fire after cooking and it took about 15 mins of heating and wire brushing, they came out so good I even considered polishing them , as i'd wet n dried them to a great shiny...

in regards to those bars im with pondo, as in ,didnt even have a clue what was happening until I saw the final pic!, looks sick as!

I'm trying to do the right thing and using paint stripper to clean up the bars, ready for a lick of paint, modern day solvents are useless and I may just light a fire again, remember them motivational issues .... and "no" the pedals wont go in the fire 🤔

It's taken me a few days.... I'm currently suffering some motivational issues but I finished one wheel, I'll gold the rim and hub then I'll give the spokes some extra careful love and wet n dry em to shiny them a bit, its come out good enough for me, even with my poor prep The BMX is a kerb side...
