DRAG KING

[The Renaissance Man]

For those of you who are just now tuning in, I should mention that the tank is not really rusty metal, but is actually fiberglass. I started by hand shaping the tank halves and followed by creating molds for reproducing them (I have done several sets already) in fiberglass. I then finished it up by applying a real rust finish.

Man, I hope you bring it with you sometime. Because, I just want to ride it!

What a masterpiece

Really love that Drag King font. Is that obtainable or did you create it?

Glen.

I'm glad you like the logo! Sorry, but I created it myself.

Just noticed how the Dana 'kinda' looks like a small motor on this bike.

I've had several people ask if it is an engine, that was what I was shooting for. I'm sure you'll get a chance to ride it sometime!

I finally got my super secret backdrop picture sent to me from the moon this afternoon.

I'm trying to decide if I should use it for my voting picture or not.

A whole bunch of cool crammed in to this build. Sometimes I wonder if 50 years from now there might be some of these build off bikes in somebody's collection... If so, this should be in it as a prime example of the breed.

Great job, Rg

Thanks everyone!
I added a few pictures to my bucket for anyone interested.
Here's one with a cool rat truck at a cruise-in here in my town. The guy that owns it and his buddy where very interested in getting into rat bikes after we talked a while. It's hard to tell, but I'm wearing a RatRodBikes shirt.

I've enjoyed watching this build from the beginning. The awesome thing about the build-off is that we get to experience the building of awesome machines like yours.

Yeah! I love all the photo's in this thread along with watching the build process. You have definitely have captured the old hot rod/rat rod vibe. A lot of small details that add up with a point. I also dig the transition vid from start to finish progress. This bike has seen a lot of cool transformation.
