"SCHWINDIAN"

[crt95]

Here is my first project. It all started with a 63 corvette frame. I have always loved the board trackers and decided my first build would be a board track style. I had a lot of inspiration from the early pictures of the indian, I had a schwinn so came along the SCHWINDIAN. It still needs a chain and I have a mini rear fender still being painted to add. The tank was machined out of a single piece of aluminum, my dad runs a machine shop and was nice to cut it out for me. Then I cut some vinyl graphics to placed on top. Hope you all enjoy.

I want to thank all of you guys for all of the great knowledge located in this forum. Thanks for all the great compliments also, it just fuels me to build more. The forks and bars were from choppersus.com (great service). The forks were the chopper style and just painted them to match. Here are a couple more pics to view. I can't wait for my next build!
