This here little picture will let you know if a man from ebay has sent you a complete carb worth a chuck of change or just an expensive "hold the pages down of a manual when the fan is blowing in your face because its so hot out there while fixing something thingy"... I believe I was sold something proper...

smokeout close!

Rockingham is coming closer and closer, and we are way stressed cause we trying to ride down 220 not trailer or breakdown into depression and look forward to making to smokeout13...

half the time we are all looking around the shop, new shop we moved again, for parts that should fit....

all we really do is mock things up day in and day out.

wrenching days...

Either Way its Gonna Need a Front End.

 

After messing around with a 200 rear and an older chopper frame and then fuck it a new frame, getting that motor soda blasted, and new rocker boxes on the way this Shovel is starting to come together...

Another bike to build before Smokeout.

ACAB...

The Hammer in Hand Cycles Straightback with 16"...

 Keeping some of the old and adding the new.

 

We thought that the stock drum brake would fit without any twerking but turns out we had to take about a half inch off the rear brake line guide, either way looks great! This pic was taken before we grind off half the guide, no worries there was enough left to properly guide the brake line.

Mocking Up

There is a place called Locust, NC.

So a 1960 Ford pick up can make it down to Locust and then back up to Winston in one day, carry a bike and new frame without any problems! good job! Now there is a fifth bike getting ready for smokeout...

 

So we have decided to add another bike in the building just in time to really stress the next two(ish) months...we aint down to the wire yet.

Jerry Springer has it bad for an 84 ironhead.

Bum Bars being put to good use.

I think these are the 6" rise straight bars with a 9" base to keep em close to me forks.

new pipes and brass...

eventually this beauty will be popped into hand made rigid frame, brass an all...

the evo makeover.

shit is coming together, hang in there!

finally working on the 76 ironhead.

had some kinks to workout, well their still being worked out...anyway, got a Hammer in Hand Cycles Straight Back bolt on hardtail (repecting the past by keeping the swing arm optional)! It lines up great and after we customize a seat its going to be sick!

 

now it just needs a new generator, etc...

Soda Blasting an Ironhead and Shovelhead(partly basted).

so soda blasting is supposed not be as abusive to non-metal surfaces and handles not stripping real chrome while cleaning and knocking off all the gunk. it seems to have worked on the iron but the shovel seems to be covered in some kind of paint that is made from oil, enamel, poly something, alloy stuff, and whatever hell else you can make paint from it, that shit aint coming off...but no worries, luckily there are some extra rocker boxes laying around.

 the ironhead so clean, after some polishing will look like a crate motor!

so fresh and so clean clean...

rollin...
