Cool! What's the chair for? Sissy bar? Looks like the back would make a nice one.

LOOK AGAIN BRO. The back legs wrap around and would be an awesome set of pull back handlebars! I call dibs...

Carl.

 

[Chad T]

LOL!...it's a smorgasboard of potential muscle bike parts.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

You are all wrong, but on the right track!
Going to be using most of this chair for the rear wheel stays...

Best bit is, we have 3 more of these chairs! Just have to convince the wife to let me have them... (this one has broken welds)

Luke.

We'll wait, but please throu us a bone please !!

 

[LukeTheJoker]

We'll wait, but please throu us a bone please !!

Very soon I hope!

Sorry, life and health has gotten in the way a bit, things appear to be settling down now! This may be my last build-off for a while though, contemplating a classic car project...

I managed to talk Heidi into letting me have another chair, so I have the rear stays and most likely the sissy bar sorted with them, once that is done it is a pretty simple build...

Luke.

 

[Gdcast]

Well, I hear you bro, I'm in a similar spot here, wish I had the time to do all the projects I have on hold...
Good news about the car, any candidates?

 

[whopperchopper]

Very cool build !!!

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Good news about the car, any candidates?

I have a lead on 2 of these:

1967 HR Holden Ute. Obviously not in that nice condition though, but maybe when I am done it would be.
Would make a great bike hauler...

Luke.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Some small progress!

Started by chopping up some chairs, these will end up as the upper and lower rear wheel stays:

Donor for the bottom bracket:

Chopped the frame up a bit and placed it roughly in place so you can see how the chain stays will work:

That is it for today...

Looks like I need to clean my camera lens or my hands are shaking too much for taking photos!

Luke.

Either 161 or 186 cubic inch straight six "Red" motor, 108-145 hp, and shipping a car from here to there??? Ouch! $$$

I remember those when I visited Perth. I also like the wagon version, like a small panel truck.

I was going to say a Holden but didn't want to come off sounding a bit clique,but parts wise I guess would be beneficial,what's the price like over there? NZ is getting a bit extortional now
