Hello......This is new off the "Work Bench" section........this is a replica of The Jammer Cycle Products salt flats streamliner.......top speed was 294 mph in 1978......this liner eventually evolved into the "Easyriders" record breaking liner........if you would like to see how I made this liner it is posted in the "Work Bench" section page 3 ,4 or 5 ?.......and if you would like to see the "Easyriders" liner model it is in this section "Under Glass" also............The engines were used from the Revell 1/12 scale chopper......I totally modified the engines to replicate Shovel-Head water cooled engines......everything else is scratch built using reference pictures.......".Pro Tech" braided line ,t`fittings,gauges,fuel lines,detail wiring........Dupont silver and red.....H.O.K. true blue pearl........... alcad paint and weathering........stars and stripes airbrushed.......decals designed and made by me and 'Fuelish Spectator"

Just too much! That is TOO GOOD! I would bet my bottom dollar that your close-up shots could fool some into believing the pics are of a 1:1 machine!

You do fantastic work, John!

If you guys think this build is stunning in these pictures, it is absolutely, insanely increadible in person! I was fortunate to see it up close and personal at the San Diego NNL show yesterday. Absolutely mind blowing how detailed and realistic this model is.

Unbelievably spectacular, John!! I've stared at these pix for a half an hour and I've only found three tiny little details that convince me it's actually a model and not the 1:1 article! I never thought I'd see a more convincing replica than your Easyrider streamliner ... til now. WOW! WOW!

Spectacular.

PS: So what're you gonna do next ... to top this one? B):lol:

It ain't fair posting a real bike on a model car forum. You should be ashamed!!! B):P

In all honesty, great job John. I love it.

I'm just AMAZED at how you can do this level of detail!!! ALL the pics were doin it for me, but the detail on the embossed material in the cockpit was a wee bit too large.But YEESH John, it really DOES look like it was shrunk down from the real Mc Coy!!!Simply BEAUTIFUL! biggrin.gifbiggrin.gifbiggrin.gifwink.gif

MAN! I cant believe i didnt comment on this (sorry bro) but Im still in awe of your ablitiy to capture in 1/12 scale what is already a piece of art, And make that art your own. If you guys havent seen this one in person then your not seeing the whole picture. Pictures dont do this build justice. OUTSTANDING WORK JOHN!!!!!! Bravo!!!
