Bob Checchinis "Honda Chopper"

[John Teresi]

Hello.......this is something I started today.......will keep you posted if interested.......thank`s

[Chuck Most]

This should be good- I still haven't ripped into any of the 1:12 Revell chopper kits I have!

[Modelmartin]

That should be a very cool project but...can you use any parts from the Revell chopper in it?? Aside from the wheels and maybe a headlight!

[Railfreak78]

Cool project John. Someday I plan on making a Yamaha XJ out of a Virago kit. The inline 4 on this looks pretty good. Do you have a suggestion for a Yamaha inline or would a Honda be ok for a start? I'm watching this unique bike you have here.

[Raul_Perez]

I've seen your motorcycle builds at the NNL West, so I know how well this one will look when its done!!

Please keep us posted on your progress.

Later,

[Romell R]

John if you do this its gonna make me pull out the chopper I was working on .... I beg you please dont tempt me to do it LOL! Just kidding bro you do yo thang!!! cant wait to see this one and maybe I'll get the inspiration to finish mine.

[John Teresi]

Hello.......I got a little more done today.........frame is almost modified......working on the body now........this is going smother than I thought........first try at a scratch built hexagon oil tank......thank`s for looking........will have more photos tomorrow.

[Hattley]

Very Cool! Bring it on!!

[Railfreak78]

Wow, now that you have posted a pic of the rear of that bike, you can really grasp the crazy angles that you have to capture. Your off to a great start and that rear end picture will surely make everyone realise the true extent of this build.

The body looks like the spaceship stikkin' out of the water on the old "planet of the apes" that's gonna be awesome,can't wait to see it done! Todd

[John Teresi]

Fantastic scratch-building, John!

[John Teresi]

Hello......I got a few things done today.......the springer is scratch built......I know that one spring is different than the other......I took pictures with the wrong spring......also I would like to note that everything needs to be filled and find sanded.......and checked for straightness ........this is just a mock-up........I scrach built a 1972 CB 750 engine head ........also scratch built seat and kick start......I will work on the pipes and headlights tomorrow......thank`s for looking.

GREAT PROGRESS, JOHN!!

I don't envy you the paint work ahead, but I know you'll figure it all out!!

Thanks for sharing,

[Romell R]

I would make a comment but it would take too much time for me to get my jaw off the floor great work John!

[curt raitz]

dang there be a lot of angle cuts on that body...betcha it was fun gettin' both sides to match up!

i concur with Raul on the simple paint job that awaits you...

[John Teresi]

Hello......I got all the graphics airbrushed........I will be doing the lettering tonight with rub on letters.......and will also be shooting the Alclad ......thank`s for looking.

[Romell R]

John you know this is an uncurable sickness that only gets worst as it progresses. And i can already see signs of the advanced stages of the illness, ie. super detailing, superfine airbrushing, winning awards, etc. Ive been looking for a cure but i havent found one as of yet. Looks like were both doomed to be modelers in our old age. LOL! well done my friend superb work!

[Clay]

Simply amazing John, I hope to be able to make it to the show to see this.
