BUILD OFF 3 DISCUSSION

[Rat Rod]

3. Must use factory frame....no altering of original frame structure

does that mean i can't mess with the head angle, by cutting and brazing?

Owen.

Yep, that's what it means.

Oh shoot. I just noticed that the finish must be applied by the owner/builder. What if the person applying the finish was my cousin and I helped? Would that be allowed or is powder coating just not allowed at all?

 

[Boneshaker]

Yeah there was an issue with that last time. One of the builders even voluntarily opted out. Rattle-can man!!!! RATTLE-CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Or a brush in my case. :roll:

steve i really like that you are letting members talk in the individual posts this time. i think that is great cause then we can help each other out, talk smack, etc.... i think at least personally it makes it more fun.

 

[TheFlyingDingo]

That would be cool if there was like...Rat Rod Live Radio...and its just a bunch of weird guys talking on the radio about the bikes on here...kinda like the guys on the sports things

"Did you see what that kid did with those fenders?"

We've always allowed people to post within people's build threads.

I think you are thinking about the final bike posts...those we try to restrict people from commenting on to keep it clean.

 

[karfer67]

oh yea duhhh sorry i must have had a few stellas that night

 

[Kustom Kreator]

I guess I'll just start a thread in the builds section, it's all good.......

 

[low_life]

just a quick rule question would slightly stretching the rear to fit a wider tire be a frame mod? no cutting or welding just crossed figures and a bottle jack

I would think that's ok. :?:

HEY RATROD OR MODERATORS---In the last buildoff there was a single topic that had pics of all the finished bikes so it was easy to see them all at once. How about the same thing for the starting pics :?: :?: :?: :idea: :idea: :idea: :wink:

Sounds fine to me...spreading the rear seat and chain stays is no biggie.

The rule is to keep people from building a one off custom frame or drastically modifying an existing frame.

Man you guys are making all my junk look like......junk but its all good I figure to at least have one of the cheapest builds. :wink:
