Cool Hand Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) 17 hours ago, curt raitz said: Got the engine plumbed, wired, oil pump and carb installed. Forgot to take photos of engine before installing it in the frame. The pulleys are aluminum which I turned on a lathe. Now it's time to build the exhaust... The fuel tank, rear fender and frame are painted Tamiya TS-55 Dark Blue. Thanks for lookin'...? Very impressive amount of detail work Curt, look forward to the next progress update and seeing it as a roller. Where you at John ??

CabDriver Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 A cool detail from the 1:1 radial bike that I always liked - check the considerately designed recess in the seat: (excuse the watermark - couldn’t find any good pics that Photobucket hadn’t ruined): Apparently the reason for that feature is if you’re brave enough to ride the bike and really open it up, you’d NEED that recess in the seat, if you get my drift ? ⚾️⚾️ Looking great so far Curt! Really enjoying this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curt raitz Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 Got mine finished, John has been working on his bike and should be posting soon... My first take on the exhaust: I didn't really like it, so I went this way: Here are some photos of the finished bike: thanx for lookin'...

gasser59 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Curt, that is so intense and I'd say Johnny's gonna have to up his game to compete with this. Sweet ride that I'd like to take for a spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CabDriver Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Awesome to see you back at the bench @John Teresi! I'm a big West Coast Choppers fan so I'll be excited to see this one come together! BTW: your pics are really small - not sure if you're doing something differently to post them than before, or if it's the site... Can't wait to see more progress!
