Title: -=MINI CHOPPER PROJECT=-
Post by: NCHKustoms on September 29, 2008, 09:31:05 PM
Just a little project me and my dad and bro (krandall) worked on this earlier this summer.

We basically made it from scratch.. well kinda started out as an old mini bike i bought off a freiend after i crashed it and broke it while he owned it. :P Just gotta do a little airbrushing and pinstriping and a few other minor details.

Ill get the pics up soon. :batman:

Well.. the old motor was out of a cement mixer and didnt hold up too well wide open going down highway 70.. locked up/ huge cloud of blue smoke= me pushing home 2 miles  :'( Cant wait to ride it again though!
