Besides, the triple forks look a little heavy on a Spaceliner!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, ratters...the OCC is a no-go...at least not with the front disc!! Not NEAR enough width! And for future reference, I have TWO OCC forks.... So I'm back to the Murray fork with or without the (actually early) truss rods... Not much clearance for the disc.... Sent from my iPhone...

EDIT: It's an OCC fork, not a WCC fork....A little fork rake built in...

Want to get some visuals for my next build... Lets see your cruiser/vintage bike frames built with a Orange County Choppers tripletree fork...PLEASE!

Joe, My truck is a '46 Chevrolet pickup. Small journal 283 SBC, Muncie, MII...it will be satin black with gold metal flake interior paint, white/black/gold upholstery, gold/silver pinstripes and switching back-n-forth between AR TorqThrusts (early '60's look) and steelies with '50 Buick wheel...

Thanks for the mind dump! [emoji12][emoji106] Lots of really good ideas!! My frame is bare metal, not chrome! Haven't been lucky enough to stumble upon a nice chrome frame (although I DO have a chrome Flightliner!) The WCC fork is the standard chrome with rust, but it could probably be brought...

Ok, guys-n-dolls, It's time to start planning my next build! So, bear with me while I describe my direction... I have a Spaceliner frame that I want to build into a hot rod style bike. Picture part cruiser, part big BMX, part muscle bike....all attitude!!! Parts stash includes: -said...

Quite honestly, you'll have to hit a vintage automobile swap meet and look for the guys selling early Ford (1928-1938) parts. Everything (except the homemade mounting bracket) started as mechanical brake parts. I'll try to get a "how-to" thread in the main forum soon...just don't hold your...

How big is the Back 40?

In post #21 on the "Final Results" thread!

Thanks to everyone that voted for ElgIndian! By far my best showing in a build-off! I finished tied for 13th in the overall voting...out of 54 builds! I'm happy with that! Thanks for the votes! What really blew my mind was that, in the "builders-only" voting I was either fourth or tied for...

I missed this one last week! WOW!! Fellow builders picked mine in the top 5!!! I'm with LBCJ...I'm honored that my builder peers liked what I did! Thanks for the builder votes all!! I'm STOKED!!!!

I took 20 bikes to the spring Charlotte Auto Fair and brought home....20! The problem with events like Charlotte/Carlisle/Hershey is that those guys are looking for specific CAR parts! Sure, you'll get the occasional guy that comes in to reminisce of their younger days, they compliment your...

Thanks, brother!!

Great build-off guys n gals!! Wow, I'm so stoked and honored to have garnered so many voted this year! This was my fifth build-off bike (BO7, BO10, and 2bikes in MBBO4) and by far my best final placement!! Thanks to all that voted, replied positively, and hit all the "like" buttons. Don't...

Thanks, sir!! Love your "Indian" as well!!

Did you count the "likes" on the initial post of the "finished build" thread for each bike? If so, I tied with 28 right there with TRM, OJ, and Falstaff!!! I'm in great company....
