What's in Elvis's bike build off tool kit:

Wrenches
Pliers
Big f'ing hammer
Ar-15 semi automatic

Be careful playing shoot em up and please move the fenders away from the house before you shoot them!

Glad to see you're making good use of your couch.
My wife doesn't seem to understand how the couch offers the perfect angle for taking proper pics.
Do you need a permit to shoot a bicycle? And if so, what's the limit??

Looking forward to watching your progress Elvis.
Regards,
Jules

Re: AIR RAID (update!!!! may21)

you look sorta close to your neighbors to be letting loose with an ar 15. do you go to a range?

 

[elvis51]

Re: AIR RAID (update!!!! may21)

TO ALL THAT FEAR FOR MY NEIGHBORS: lol i wont be shooting the AR 15 in my neighborhood, my uncle owns his own motocross shop that is out in the sticks, where he has a shooting range setup for him and his cop buddies. it will be in a safe and controlled enviroment!!!

Re: AIR RAID (update!!!! may21)

so i got some painting done early this week.....

even though you cant see it(cuz i forgot to take pics of it!!! :roll: ) i layed down some masking tape on top of the flat black, then i shot it with some rustoleum graphite color that i had bought, kinda a dark gray with flake in it. very cool color.

lol and yes i know the person in the 2nd picture is doin a hand stand before anybody asks!!! smokin a cig and doin a hand stand!!! lol :roll: :roll: :lol: :lol:

heres a pic with the tape peeled off, you can see the flat black peekin thru the graphite. some might ask why i did it that way, the answer to that will come later when i have more pics to share!!!

also did a little taping jobbie on the front fender, ive got more of it done since the pic was taken but the wife has the camera and shes outta town. more pics to come when she returns home!

thats all for now! thanks for the comments and kind words on the build so far everyone!

Re: AIR RAID (BIG UPDATE!!!! June 18th!!!)

well folks, ive had a really crap month so far. ive lost my grandpa bob and my great grandmother in the past 2weeks... its been really tough lately but you just gotta push through it sometimes

so heres my updates so far!!!

i got the paint all done on the bike. i added "dots" on the whole bike to make it look like its a fighter plane kinda. with the rivets and the sheet metal effect. look for em on the fenders and you can kinda see em on the frame barely. theres sooo many of em!!! and i finally got my fenders shot!!! literally!!! i just went out to my uncles shop and he shot em quite a bit for me! they look awesome. the front fender isnt completely done yet but theres some sneak peek photos of it mocked up.

i couldnt get my videos of him shooting it to upload to photobucket, but luckily i took a picture as well. heres where im at so far with everything.... shes coming along nicely!!! i still have lots of ideas in my head yet to be put to use...

feel free to comment and leave thoughts and ideas.

heres my uncle chad shooting the fender. his AR15 is gettin worked on right now so we used one of his pistols..

and heres the finished product....looks alot better than those stickers id say!!

heres some what of a mock up with the wheels and seat and bars and fenders....

thats all for now folks!!! more to come when i get more done!!! lol

Re: AIR RAID (BIG UPDATE!!!! June 18th!!!)

That looks like a fun build! 40 S&W?

 

[karfer67]

Re: AIR RAID (BIG UPDATE!!!! June 18th!!!)

the paint is very well done i really like the take on the star done to the front fender. and the bullet holes i mean come on how cool is that?

 

[Bendix]

Re: AIR RAID (BIG UPDATE!!!! June 18th!!!)

fantastic details :!: i think the pistol was a better choice anyway- the .223 might have been too clean, like a paper hole punch!

Re: AIR RAID (BIG UPDATE!!!! June 18th!!!)
