Seat progress?

Pulled some foam out of an old seat

and salvaged enough for the seat.

I even sewed up some tuck and roll for it.

Then I decided to use a seat I already had,

I'm gonna finish it but the other seat

has a simpler look.

I think these gay fuckers are

way better than the other gay fuckers.

Check it out.

Seat pan

Finished making this seat pan

through some paint on it to prevent rust

now I can get to covering it.

I ended up welding a few supports to the back side 

to stiffen it up a bit and made a clip to attach to the frame.

Building a Rotocaster!

Found this motor at a local surplus store,

Found some gearing and chain, still need

a few more gears to slow the 6 rpm 

motor down to 3-4 rpms.

My welding is improving, 

I'm happy with at least 50% of these.

Got the base started a done after work today.

Exhaust is Exhausting

I started anew with the rear pipe because the first one

I made was, well, kinda crappy and it really took away from 

a much better effort on the from pipe. I guess at least

I have the ability to notice when I jacked something up 

and correct my mistakes. The new one flows much better,

fills in the space between the oil bag and trans better and

compliments the front pipe better. 

this weekend I'm tackling the exhaust mounts, relocating 

the regulator, and finishing the seat pan mounts. 

I really cant wait to start stitching the seat, four 

semesters of industrial sewing in Pat Fushimi's

class in high school will hopefully come back to me, and

prove useful!

Getting back to it!

After being out of work for awhile and getting to work on the bike

whenever I got the itch its been challenging to find time now that I'm

working again. I decided to devote some afterwork hours to

the Dodge and weekends to the bike until its done. The biggest

problem I run into is getting supplies on the weekend as everything

is closed so I started making a list of stuff i need to pick up in the 

evenings after work so I can make better progress over the weekend.

BOOM

OK, I just got to get this car driving then,

back to the shovelhead

I'm happy with the front one but

weekend hopefully.

This one might be mine!

1950 Dodge Wayfarer Business Coupe

45 magnum motor

Yes he's really holding that bike,

and he picked it up to boot!

As it sits

I'm going to lower the front suspension about 1.5"

so I slide the tubes up in the trees to see

how it will look. I'm diggin the stance!

Oil Tank Mounting

Frame tabs, ran out of Argon while

welding these on, the front ones

only got tacked.

I made an Aluminum spacer to lower

the oil tank a bit

Oil Tanks and mounts before I cut em up

Chopped out this section to allow room

for the oil lines

mounted with spacer

Trusty old Chicago drill press
