I was thinking more like a v8 powered but i like the idea of the bb as the transmission or maybe a turbo

As for the progress on J.C Special Here is the murray/higgins accessory I went through many different possible locations but this was the best spot so that all 4 of the mounts could be attached gives it a rear engine Indycar look this mockup is with the standard size 24" rattrap springer...

Still working on J.C. Special but since it is july it is time for me to work on Sharkruiser Hopefully I will have done in time for shark week on discovery the frame Specialized Shark cruiser The pedals odyssey shark bite the Handlebars occ schwinn stingray (to give that shark nose...

one problem that had held me back was on this project was the fork and stem I wanted to use a bmx or fixi style stem with the fixi bars but all the bmx stems fit 3/4" hbars and the fixi bar has a 1" middle the stems i wanted to use all fit 22.2 forks but all the 26" bmx forks I had can only...

found out it is a Shelby straight bar (mid 30's) the tell tell difference is in the seat post clamp area here is another Shelby bike fir a reference pic turns out the sprocket on mine is completely wrong but the real problem now is I found a Columbia firebolt frame at a bike swap meet Now i...

did a hour and a half drive to buy this frame that I might use for a project Badge says western flyer sprocket looks Schwinn but crank isn't a dogleg I am going to do some more research but let me know what you guys think it is and how much is OG If it turns out to be a schwinn then I...

I decided before i hack up a rear fender i would check to see if i could use the front fender from the same set first i had to trim the sides for the area where the skirts attach once that was done i had a choice to make remove the cross bracing on the frame and reweld it or alter the fender...

Looking good with the shortened hemline Any chance you have a squared style fender (something like a later evans) in your stash I think it would really match well to the flat upper bar

I took J.C special for a test run and found some stuff out the frame is tweeked close to the headtube and the extended 24" didnt seem to actuate properly I dont know if it is due to the frame being out of alignment or if modifying the rattrap in any form renders it useless as a springer or...

I decided to go ahead and start making j.c special into a rider to test out the clearance on the springer this is what it looks like on the 24" rattrap The clearance was an .25 of an inch less than the the rocker bump stop so i figured I would check the 26" rattrap but i didn't like how it...

Well no one ever said rat rodding was safe

I have a weekend rat rod bike ride coming up saturday maybe I should make it a bare bones cruiser and take it for a test ride to check

I did some hunting at a recent bicycle swap meet and and my local co-op to find something that will work for the bars / gooseneck here is what i came across I found a gooseneck that will fit the 24" rattrap (bottom) but it turns out the bigger 26" rattrap has a slightly larger opening and...

i felt like the ape hanger bars where just too big for this build and i found a small hbar that i think fits the style of the bike so i put on the bars in both cruise and race position and added the metal seat to see how it all looked I think the bars when lowered almost have a Kelly...

I checked out the prewar elgin gooseneck and it fit half way I think it looks better but would like to see it all the way down but kingfish might have the curved crossbar handlebars so i am leaving it this way for now the other small issue is the fit of the fender with the smaller tires this...

Trying to decide if I want to use an older leather saddle or stick with the lightweight steel theme and use the seat frame on the bottom (i do have a unique idea to try on it)

Funny you should mention that I found one at a local swap meet last weekend however it is to wide for the rattrap springer So i was going to maybe try the middle version but it also is too wide for the rattrap the far right i had gotten of either a prewar elgin or snyder bucycle I like how...

My other option is to find curved crossbar hbars like these examples any one have a set they want to sell/trade full tilt boogie by texasbigjohn

Unearthed a set of juvenile hbars that i think fit the bike better than the wider ones i originally thought of using gooseneck set forward here is with the gooseneck reversed I wanted them set further back to mimic an indy car windshield / steering wheel set way back of the car nose...

If the tires where the regular 24 x 3.0 they wouldnt fit but these came off a 24" felt they are only 2.125 wide
