'53 Star Twin bobber
« on: 28.11. 2013 01:56 »
I've finally gotten to the point of having some pictures on my current build...
(Purists look away.)

Starting from scratch on this one. I'm headed a different direction than my last '65 L/R Clubman.
This one is a period racer inspired bobber, I call it Elwood.

G'day Luke.
If she turns out as good as your Lightning Clubman she will turn heads.
May I suggest some gusseting top and bottom where the new meets old.

Thanks Muskrat.

Gussets indeed. We don't need a failure at ANY speed.
I'm still fabricating some positioning/aligning parts,
then I will tack her in place and build some sexy gussets.
-Stay tuned

Some progress going on...
Frame is welded, gussets installed, and the QD axle modified to fit the hard tail.
Here is a link to the page...easier than posting pictures twice.
