Some Fun With Fence Ties

Alright today i wrote out the plans for my upcoming project. I decided to do a bicycle chopper..

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

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..

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

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

Gnite all

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.
