Wow frameteam2003 thanks so much for sharing, that is what you call riding em and not hiding em!
Did anyone else spot the clip near the beginning, (44 sec)the guy doing donuts with a ciggy hanging
out of his mouth. Now don't be thinking you will be getting a movie like that out of me, that is a cool
movie, way cool!
I'm hoping you have been continuing to make progress on this one.
Being trapped on an island can slow down parts I imagine.
Unless you luck out and know where there is a fallen Norfolk pine ready for use?
Looking forward to any progress you have on this one Pirate. :wink:

Sadly I am not going to make the deadline with this one, too much other stuff got in the way, plus my
old stick welder gave up and has gone to where molten metal machines rest. Here she is as she stands
today all mocked up, at least she looks a bit like the real thing.
The chrome fenders will be painted.
Working light is just a cheapy torch, the wartime bikes had shades so they couldn't be seen so well at night.
As I pulled her down I took a pic with the rear seat off, looks okay like this I think.
From here a bit more welding, and a heap of sanding and filling of the ply bits, then paint and assembly
can see the glow at the end of the tunnel!

So a bit of slow progress, seem to have done a lot but doesn't look like much, lots of filling and sanding to get
to where she is now, at least it is all one colour! I live pretty isolated so have to build with what I have, lots of
scrap plywood gone into this! More wood work than metal work!
She will be a two seater like to original but will spend sometime as a single seater as I think she looks better
with out the second seat.
That's a Honda CT 90 headlight surround and a VW oil filler cap topping off the fake tank.
The little box on top of the tank was used for storage on the original, seats will be covered eventually.
The original had heat shields on the muffler, I am using them to stop the passengers feet getting stuck in the spokes.
The foot pegs again from a Honda CT90
Bit more to do but some light at the end of the tunnel.

Looking good Pushie Pirate!

You doing some great fab work with that scrap plywood! To me, that makes it even cooler!
Good to see the progress on this one.
Also like letting us know of the ct90 bits you used.
Looking more like your original vision all the time and I like the way the original heat shields become a safety factor for the passenger.

Have got back into a few details on this one, used an old trailer hitch for the passenger handle.
Really wanted a taillight close to to original, so scratch built this, an old can and some plywood.
Bit of bondo and some sand paper got me close.
Finally a shifter from a couple of VW Beetle heater cable levers.
Nearly ready for paint only problem my compressor quit!

Loving it! Is it just the motor on the compressor or the pump itself?

Pump I am pretty sure, she was only a cheapy so next trip to the
mainland will get a newbie, no hurry this thing will get there soonish!

Love the new additions too by the way, the shifter, taillight and grab handle are good choices and fit well!

This is a really cool build -- definitely one of a kind.
