Evel Knievel Bonanza Build-Kids would have went CRAZY!!!!!

#1
Another one in the books. Just wrapped up this build. Bonanza MB1210TC to my knowledge. We have had the bike for a couple of years running but never finished the paint or details. Gotta give my boys credit for the Evel Knievel idea. The decals are from a 20" bicycle that was made in the 70's. I found a guy on Ebay that re popped the entire set of decals. I painted the rear fender with rattle cans, what a challenge.

The cables seem a bit long and could hang up on stuff but beyond that the attention to detail is outstanding .. I was 13 in Evel's hay-day and anything with that name on it sold!
A mini bike would have been off the hook ... surprised no one acted on that back then ...

Good job on this one!!

Nice Tribute Bike. I saw Evel Knievel jump a row of cars in March 1971 at the Cow Palace when I was 14. When he made the Jump, A riot broke out. Google it.

Very nice! I was one of those kids that never missed ole evil ,he was a fearless real life badass.
I remember any toy with his name on it sold like mad back in the day.
