More Than 2 Wheels: JEB998's 2013 Build-Off entry

[JEB998]

My name is Justin and im 14 years old. I am doing the build-off with a Bird Romper. It is a miniature three wheeler with a 3hp motor. I am upgradeing to a 6hp Tecumseh motor. It has a torq-a-verter. I hope to have enough money to buy new rims and tires.

cool im gunna be watching this too

 

[JEB998]

This is what I started with. I used a grinder with a wire wheel. It took me about two hours to remove the paint and rust.

Here I am removing the grips.

 

[buckeye]

Nice work jeb.
You're going to have to figure out a way to upload bigger pics.
Us old guys can't see them.:thumbsup:

 

[JEB998]

This is me wire brushing.

Here I am drilling out the old serial number tag. I plan to put it back on when im done.

 

[buckeye]

Now you're cookin!

 

[incogrhino]

Working outsides great.

 

[cumminsbayou]

things gonna look cool you should get some hubs off a 4 wheeler/3 wheeler then put a 72 tooth rear sprocket on it and use some 25in atv tires on it possible snorkel the motor but i guess it matters where your gonna ride it

 

[JEB998]

I plan on rideing in the mud and in the sand I have lifted the frame higher also.

 

[JEB998]

When I lifted the frame the sprocket was to close to the frame so I had to cut out a section so it wouldnt hit and this is what is looks like.
