SCOOTER BUILD-OFF

[Gdcast]

Looking good FatBoy!
Spent the hole Sunday at work, so today I´m free and home alone!!
Tomorrow pics 4 sure!

 

[Gdcast]

As promised, sneak-pics!

Did a new wood board, still have details to finish on it, last one got damaged by my own clumsiness; also laid the last coat of paint.
But none of that is in today pics, cause I´m to close to assemble (hopefully tomorrow) and I want the revealing pics to be a surprise. But, if you look close there are some clues around :wink:

What´s done:




There, I had shown some of mine, now show me yours! :lol: :lol: :? :? :shock: :roll: :mrgreen:

Here is the beginning:

 

[FatBoy]

Welcome aboard recycledbikez2! 8) I built two of those scooters for my kids and they love them...What do you have planned for yours?

 

[recycledbikez]

Take a look at the tire in the picture, I am thinking kind of a older drag race theme

 

[skulldady]

That's a great idea, maybe a wheelie bar eh.

 

[FatBoy]

That will be cool!I like the wheelie 8) :mrgreen: bar idea

 

[Gdcast]

Chop-Chop guys! Mine gets finished Today!

recycledbikez2 I like those little ones, can´t wait to see what you come up with.

Well, I just have to work on the board´s decoration, attach it to the skoot and it´ll be done.
Did the first test ride yesterday and the thing is a blast! First time in my life I ride something like it an I love it, and so did all the children in my street!
PICS TOMORROW MORNING! :wink:

Cheers!

 

[Gdcast]

And it rides great! Even with me on it!!

First time kids of the neighbourhood see one like it, they love it!

 

[FatBoy]

Great Job that turned out very cool!!!!! 8) :mrgreen:

 

[FatBoy]

I got a free hour this afternoon so I cut and drilled some 3/8 plate for my swingarm mount.I still have a long way to go, just baby steps for now but they are steps!SO When is are dead line again? :mrgreen:

 

[skulldady]

Well done Gcast, this thing has BEACH CRUISER written all over it.

 

[Gdcast]

Thank you guys!!! That thing is a blast, seriously so fun to ride, very glad I built it.
Thanks to all of you that gave me inspiration to do it.
You´re right skulldady, it´s a beach cruiser :wink:

 

[FatBoy]

Heres a little more work on the swing arm ,the red and black pieces will be welded together with some tube gussets,I kinda want it look factory made but we will see what I end up with....

 

[Wildcat]

I did a little today, some cutting and measuring. I've got a long way to go.

 

[skulldady]

Started werk on the deck

Gona transfer this little doodle on to it.

I wana get some of that spray on, or brush on grip tape.

 

[skulldady]

Got some primer on it, Im gona go white or off white I think.

 

[Gdcast]

FatBoy: Your build is already looking factory, that scooter is going to be a beast!

Wildcat: Looking good, you´re off to a great start there... remember to keep the deck low! (mine is OK but it could have been lower :roll: )

Skulldady: That thing is amazing man, wanna see more :shock:
