Like this one but more jesse james

So its night time, nothing to do but im in the mood of choppers. Im searching the web and come across a chopper made out of a pop can and some fence ties and thought i would give it a try. My first attempt was terrible, pop can ends for tires and it was just yuk! So i gave it another try, and looked up one of my favorite west coast choppers bikes and went off building.

tools:
Fence ties - can be bought at any hardware place, very cheap
Plyers
tape
patience - a BIG factor

:bigthumb: so anyways there is tape everywhere but its because i havnt sodered(sp?) anything yet.. this was SOOO much fun, cant wait to see when its done..

Any Comments?

Im on my second frame cuz i cant do any sodering tonight so anyone have any frame ideas? i was thinking drag bike but they arnt that much diff from chopper frames

Pretty impressive. I could never do something like that, mostly because I lack the patience...

thats gonna be one hell of a project......good luck on it :bigthumb:

hehe cool :thumbsup:

ok i built second frame.. alot bigger than the first. I like the design better on the new frame too

gimme some feedback and tell me if you want progress pics on tank, fenders and anything else

:bigthumb: good job keep it up... congrats on your paitience level

i like the second frame much better......keep up the good work:bigthumb:

Thanks all..

About the second frame.. I am looking at it right now and the thing that bugs me is that it just looks too big. Maybe its becauseits too wide but it just doesnt look like a chopper frame.. It reminds me more of a street bike.. Anyways i will continue this tomorrow and also get started on the REAL project, the chopper bicycle that is :bigthumb: :bigthumb:

Gnite all

Looks awsome. Its kinda like your own mini Monster Garage!

You should try and make a life sized one.

i am.. (note first pic in first thread) i am making a bicycle chopper.. real life one

I need some help.. The fence ties are aluminum and i cant super glue, soder, or melt them. So i tried a bronze wire and that doesnt cut, and it bends like crap. So i dont know what to do? My brother said try coat hanger so ill brb, im going to go see if it will soder

Rather than a chopper (I know it's the reason for doing it) make some crazy Ducati frame, that'd be awesome, if it was cool enough, I'd buy it.
