HAUL-iN ! CustomCycleTruck (Finished)

[OneHorsePower]

Ahh!! finaly the time as come were i can create a frame from scratch , less then a month of welding experiences , but tones of practice and youtube knowledge .
So yeah , i will create a cycle truck and i am gambling big trying my first Frame build in my first RRB BO with a dead line ,hence the name
HAUL-IN! (All-in!)

here is most of what i am starting with as far as steel/materials:

 

[OneHorsePower]

Here's my:
-average template
-almost perfect matching set of 26x1,5 and 20x2,125 tires
-frame tubes and parts

already cutting things up !
first up is building the wheels , but before i get to lacing i planed a little fatty up front

made a little jig in the wait for the buildoff , keeps it round and flat

 

[OddJob]

Love the idea and la determination! Rat on OHP!

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Very cool 1HP! Been waiting to see what you can do with a welder!

Luke.

 

[Big Ape]

Great plan,
I always enjoy your builds!!

 

[kingfish254]

You always bring top notch skills my friend.
The prelim sketch looks almost like what RUFF would build if they built a cycle truck.
Love the homemade fatties too.

 

[raggedjim]

Great idea, I'd like to have a cycletruck so I'll be borrowing some of your ideas.

Good luck, Rg

Custom frame, yup I'm watching.

 

[OneHorsePower]

little fatty is welded , Crank arms are drilled out and everything is primed

my bad , there are no bare metal or before pics on these , i got caried away working

these bmx crank arms were soOoo heavy ! decided to help them

That's a huge wheel offset.

That's a huge wheel offset.

what you mean? the modded 20''wheel is 2 3/8'' wide

Are you running 26/20?
I planned that for Air Force Too, I just didn't realize how much difference there was.

Luke.

Thanks , yeah lets just hope it holds up haha

what about you ? not participating in this buildoff ? or just havent posted yet ?

 

[The Renaissance Man]

Looking forward to the progress on this one. I may have to build one of these myself!

 

[OneHorsePower]

having problems early on , the cheap primer is not compatible with the color and clrear, stuff is peeling ill probably have to strip everything down and restart that's what happen when using the cheapest stuff available or mixing paint brands i guess . oh well

 

[Fv2]

Yea, mixing brands usually does that. Some prefer rustoleum, some prefer krylon, others use what's on sale. As long as primer,base,and clear are the same brand you can generally turn out a good rattle bomb.
