BC build....my interpretation

[Skipp]

As they say it takes a village to raise a child....and it takes a forum to build a BC....thanks to all who sold me stuff....starting with the great frame and fenders....
So after a quick sand blast and boxing up the chrome here we go....
Got paint yesterday.....going to go ahead with the h50 instead of the hs40.... shocks powder coated and installed....
Another great set of wheels burnished by our friend Sam....sad to say chrome will not be ready until MARCH?!?....again using all stainless hardware....decided to incorporate a little vintage motorcycle accessories, and fancy seven sins choppers grips, they are awesome if you haven’t tried them... bought gold and grey...went with the grey...more to follow....any one have a go power..6” let me know....thanks for looking....

Looking good, did you do the frame painting?

Curious where you sent the fenders for chrome and if you got a quote?

 

[Skipp]

No I’m not a painter....unless you count rattle cans....I sent my chrome off to Jon wrights custom chrome plating in grafton Ohio....I actually sent about 15 pieces to him....and yes I got a quote....

John Wright does some of the best chrome plating in the country but very expensive. Try custom chrome and polishing in Cleveland next time As they treat me right on prices and do a great job.

 

[Skipp]

Jon was the only one out of 7 places I called that even offered to look at the stuff....I’m not sure if I ever called them...thanks I’ll file that away....

You don’t have to worry about johns chrome turning out nice as it will be perfect show quality.

your the test pilot...lol unless you want me come down and give it the beens...
what are you going to run? clutch?

 

[Skipp]

Lol....me as the test pilot does not provide much comfort....I like them fast....I have a max torque as 12t...also have a comet 30 series on the shelf just in case...I’m wanting to go with the clutch

 

[delray]

nice if you could build a two speed that would hold up to that big block. i have a friend local thats been using it for drags and it works and all ,but he can't build a strong motor right....

 

[Skipp]

I would like to try a two speed!

Now if I could just figure out how to fabricate a head that looks like a “pan” I’d be very happy...
