Hello......this is another older build.......original MPC George Barris " Mail Truck " kit I bought from Ebay a few years back........wired and plumbed......H.O.K. white,kandy red and pearl blue......added a fuel tank and carpet.......thanks
Thank you everyone for the interest of this build........I should have posted progress pictures of my builds before?.....but I get so caught up in the build I just want to build and not stop to take pictures......but I am so happy that you guy`s are as interested in this model as much as I am........Mike this is my first progress thread and ModelMartin yes this is a 1/12 scale build.......I started with 2- 1/12 scale Revell chopper kits I used the engines and rear tire from the kits........the engines are evolution engines that had to be totally modified to become water-cooled shovelhead engines and the rear tire had to be ground down smooth to look like a salt flat tire.......I also used the front wheel and tire from the 1/12 Revell Robin motorcycle.......everything else is scratch built......thank`s
Hello everyone......if any body has heard of " Jammer Cycle Products" in the early 70`s and 80`s you will know about this streamliner......it is the same streamliner that "Easyriders" magazine broke the worlds record on July 14th 1990........ for the fastest Harley Davidson motorcycle in the world.......... at a average speed of 322mph in both directions .........and I already built a replica of that liner.......... I will post pictures on July 14th in the Under Glass section of this forum as a tribute to "Easyriders" magazine since it is the 20 year reunion that it broke the record.......I have been asked so many times to post progress pictures.......so since I am building the "Jammer Cycle" liner .......I will post progress pictures........I have been working on this for 2 weeks now.........and it is just about ready for primmer ......these pictures are the first week......I will post pictures of the secound weeks work in a couple of days......questions welcome......thank`s
