Hello All, Name is Dave, I live in St. Paul, MN. I am mostly into bikes, I have built a few choppers from the ground up, including '68 and '73 triumph choppers and more recently, an evo-based chopper, which was recently featured on the cover of the Horse #50. I have two '60's cars, a daily driver mild custom '66 Cadillac coupe de ville and a bone stock '67 pontiac bonneville I am selling. I just picked up a '29 Tudor sedan body/ch***is that is going to get the works done to it--chopped, channelled, z'ed and boxed. I do all my own fabrication work in my garage. Look forward to getting info as I build the '29. Thanks.
Welcome aboard! Best of luck with your project and congrats on the mag cover. How about some pics when you get a chance? CH
OK, some info first: Evo bike has a customized Chica frame, '99 evo motor, cheapo springer, I built most everything else. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=90758&stc=1 Triumph is a '68, I have this totally torn down for a complete rebuild now, this picture is three years old. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=90759&stc=1 The Ford picture is from the ebay auction. I haven't done jack **** to it yet. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=90760&stc=1 The Caddy is my daily driver--the attached pic is old, it has since been lowered, have 15" 5 spokes on it and I am getting the roof metalflaked in a couple weeks. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=90761&stc=1 The pontiac is bone stock and going to be sold. That's it. Thanks. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=90762&stc=1
Welcome Nutz - I feel like I know you because I lurk on the ****! board almost more than here. Very nice bikes you have there, I just saw the "mag" yesterday, it was pretty good even though I feel the same way about that "mag" as most do on the other board. Your article was done well... Seems like you have a skate past like many of us here as well, so way cool..( what did you think of Matt Hensleys bike??) once again welcome..
Yeah, I have my issues with the mag as I have posted over there on occ***ion, but it's not a big deal to me--they have good bikes in there occ***ionally. I really like the japanese bike mags, I get Vibes sent to me monthly and I scrounge copies of ******** Chopper when I can. **** is a great board, I've learned a ton over there since I joined a few years ago. Hope to do the same here as I build the '29, I've never done a ground-up car before. I skated for 15 years and still do every once in a while. Probably the most influential activity of my life thus far. The body won't do what the mind commands anymore, and I get hurt so easily now, so I keep my skating to mini ramps for the most part. Hensley was always a cool-*** guy and it doesn't suprise me that his bike is the ****! Later, Tha Nutz
I'll post some when the rebuild is further along--it is down to bare metal and in pieces right now. . .Thanks, Tha Nutz
