Hey Gang,
I am a car nut with strong roots in the custom world (well my part of the world). I don't leave anything alone. Some stuff is subtle and some is pretty radical in modification. I am too cheap to pay for stuff done... so, I just dive in and give it a try. I guess my influence has been passed on to my son. When he was 4 he said he didn't like his bike anymore and wanted a chopper. He had a 12" kids bike. I did a two hour job on it. We raked it and installed mini apes we stole off his big sisters bike. He rode the heck out of the bike and was a big hit on the local bike path. After a couple trips on the bike path he said, "Dad, now you need a chopper to ride with me." So, I went to the local thrift store, shelled out $7 for a mountain bike and started hackin'. My boy remembered OCC's build of the Spider Bike and asked that I do mine with a "spidee" theme. That was five years ago. The boy is now cuttin' and weldin' on car projects (yep, 9 yrs old and welding... and pretty dang good too). Building one for my daughter now.
VW Roadster Project we are building
Thanks for lookin'
