Lil Old School and a Few pics from Big Bear Projects!

First off welcome to the new year.
I feel great things coming this year.
here's a few pics from some projects I did up in Big Bear Lake when I lived up in Sugarloaf. had a lot of fun doing it it was a lot of fabricating and paint involved in a lot of my projects up there.
what a great time and even better friends!

this was a bike I customized the frame tanked it and painted it up. the other side was painted differently but the smile now cry later skills were maintained I gotta find the pics it looked better than this side.

Hanks SCOUT 800A I Flamed for him.

I love this s out we did so much to it I made into a hydraulic clutch system so it was easier to drive for Hank!

We made custom seat stands that were safes!  I only wish he would have let me make the front bumper! Instead of a welding shop! This thing hauled A$$...

This is a Jesse James Chopper Bike 

I put a Briggs&Stratton on

The Building of Rat Wagon

We'll all I started to build a second wagon seeing how much fun I had with the first before selling it.  I thought I would build one for my first nephew Action Jaxson!  & His sister Sophie! 

It is coming out awesome I did the hairpin style front end avail this time with him joints and springs. The front end is going to have 2" inches of travel to dampen the hard landings of wheelies. 

I learned this the lat wagon! I wish it had front suspension if you chop the gas and hit the brakes it Comes Down HARD!

This one had a T handle bar with a thumb throttle because the throttle has a built in stop to regulate the amount of throttle they are able to give it for learning purposes.

The seat is a Tillett racing Go Cart seat my brother scored from a friend.

The front wheels are 10" scooter tires and rims. The front axle is custom bent and 6 inches wider than the rear axle. Bent to simulate a drop beam axle for that old school feel.

The wagon had to be notched for the frames steering setup and also the carb an intake because I am making the chassis as low profile ad possible to avoid roll covers a any cost!
(((Hence the throttle stop)))

The exhaust is awesome it looks like a open header set out the sides 4 exhaust pipes on each side of the wagon to give it that mean sound and to look like the real deal!

I also I'm in he middle of building the center console shifter and choke knob mount. I'm trying to keep it as sweet looking as possible its hard though I came up with a carb cover / shift console pan idea I am going to try out and see how it comes out.

Also my mini Pete  semi cabs are on pre sale email me for pricing and a shipping quote...

Well till next time....

Keep Moving Forward. & Get"R"Done!

Anyone wanting to buy a fiberglass copy of the semi?

I'm preselling copies of the mini semi truck for the first run of the bodies
if your interested send me a message and I will send you pricing on them.
Check out this video of my steel mini peterbilt i made
Cneck out this link to youtube

Steel Mini 

The can is a 12 ounce can to show size and scale of body
The Day cab chassis is 4' feet from bumper to bumper.

I also designed and am In the first stages of building the LED headlights
with round cast stainless steel housings they are super efficient and beautiful.

SOON to be offered is the radio flyer truckers kit it is awesome. frame, cab and all the hardware to transform your wagon into a miniature truck, with trailer optional using your original wagon rear axle and wheels. And another complete wagon as a trailer. 
It is awesome.

I am currently trying to raise funds to help further the development of other truck parts.

I'm in the design stage for building a miniature concrete truck that half the barrel is a padded seat form fit upholstery to look like the real thing.

also I'm designing a sleeper cab to add to the existing body to give it that long haul look with a longer frame.

I love these things they are the coolest toy around
for that ultimate little trucker!
Just like dads semi truck!
