I was just playing with a fork from one of my bikes. You're correct, I'm running a 24" on a 26" fork. I could make it work but for what I'm doing it's really a kinda of metaphor with making something out of discarded junk and adding a fork I bought doesn't fit the plan. I just couldn't resist...

Thanks OutSkirts, it's my daily. '62 Impala, 327ci...it'll end up lower too, they all do.:crazy:

I went "beyond burrito" earlier today and had to real myself back in.

I'm no expert but a burrito as I know it has to sit upright by it's pedal only.

Thanks for the kind words BigRed, no bones about it I'm cheap, I work hard for my dough and family and kids come first, plus I have my first love of Hot Rods so if I'm gonna build these things it's gotta be for next to nothing.:happy: Please grab these mountain poo's from the garbage and start...

I've been really struggling with the concept of making this thing appeal to folks who get their bikes off a Wally World rack. After all that's who'll be bidding on it and the custom touches I wan't to do just aren't worth the hassle. I'm thinking of changing my build since I get one change in...

Deven, this ones for you buddy... since you called my build out I really wanted it bonafied "burrito!" Guess I'm just the Low Life in this years build!

Thanks Bum.....Ten plus years of gulf coast sun bathing has made that paint and the metal one.

Don't have a cup, I'll pick one up on your suggestion. I was using a flapper wheel on drill motor and good ole elbow grease with paper.... Worked well on the one front portion but the rear frame must have had a different paint process because ten times harder to remove. Where I need to weld is...

ha ha deven...I've been known to make a slammed burrito ..but this ones getting raffled off for a cause when I'm done so I think I better tame it down. I'm putting the cranks up front with plenty of clearance and comfort. Thinking about a double chain drive though, down to the original...

Ok, it's late...but I had to throw some pics of another mock-up I've been playing with... I've spent a few hours tonight sanding, sanding and more sanding! Did I mention I sanded? Boy Chinese really love their baked on enamel.

Yes.....Skoty chops would be proud!

That things the love child of an Elgin and a 49 Chopped and sleaded Merc....I dig it!

Certainly cannot be confused with a mountain bike now! Putting the crank where the frame joins in the front.

Those pics are like the Highlights magazines I used to enjoy as a kid in the doctors office, so many hidden items. Crutch sissy bar, just cool! I've just been bitten by this building bug... no one let my honey know this is the way my shed will look soon, shhhhh:whistle:

Snuck in a few hours for more mocking around fun... Tacked, stacked and upright...calling it a night.

I appreciate the welcome guys

Thanks Luke and Draco. And right on Luke.... I figure anything I do to an Wally World mountain tripe is an improvement.

Love'n the parts honey hole...really digg'n that B&W nanner...can't wait to see what you come up with.

"What a pile!" Literally :rofl: Had to say it since I'll never be able to say that about it again. This one's destine for greatness brotha, it's gonna be awesome!
