Side projects...lets see them!

Bikes, I'm up to 6 now.I just got a motorized one last week but it's best and hardly stays running..
All of them are garage sale finds I strip down, sandblast and do body work on the frames and rebuild.

more projects then time, money, and common sense

 

I guess this was one and only sideproject at this year,a stand for the shrinker/stretcher:

 

I'm more interested in this '66 Bug right now, than my main project. I need to sell it so I can invest that cash into the main one.



Then there's this one waiting in the wings...

 

Working on something to pull my car trailer. 78 Suburban. 15x15 rear rims with Mickey Thompson S/R. - OT but you asked

 

Heres the Simplex Servi-Cycle I have been messing around with.

 

Building this for my son:

Have to thank the HAMB for the inspiration. I can't weld, but I read every thread on here about custom wagons and made it work. My 2-year old son saw it for the first time and shouted "race car daddy! race car!" He loves it. Now to paint it.

 

Still trying to get this thing dialed in.

 

almost forgot. i have a and bike wagon from when i was a kid that my grandparents got for me. gona redo them as well. and i have bigger tires to on my oxy/acctyln cart.

plus house work. bath rooms, basement, kitchen, roof.

wow, im runnin out of time....

 

digging the wagon

 

i'm restoring a 110 year old victorian farm house. room by room...should be done in a couple decades or so.

 

Cheers mate. Im looking to build one for my son.

 

Sorry, I have lived in my 1910 1100 square foot bungalow for 23 years now... Your never done!!!

 

Ive had these sitting collecting dust for a while. All things I just tinker with when I get tired or fighting with other projects.

 

My recent side projects...

 

Building a custom Trike for the wife,and I'm painten it pink

 

I tinker with my 67 Mustang a lot. My mom and dad bought it for me when I turned 16 and It was supposed to be a father son project. Dad passed away my junior year of high school. So as much as I love traditional rods, that car means more to me than any of my others.


I also have a 9 point whitetail rack and cape that I am getting ready to shoulder mount and a 6 pt whitetail I am working on a European mount.



my bullitt mustang



Here is some of my powdercoating working on a buddys cummins swap in a 96 chevy 2500

 

i'm doomed then, 4300 square feet, 7 bedrooms, six baths.

 

Doomed is right! Best thing I ever did for my resto? Moved my girlfriend in! Now I "have" to complete things in a timely manner...

 

My side project is a vw.

 

choppers!!!

 

Heres mine, kinda HAMB friendly , its a '37 , with bigs and littles on spokes , upgraded from a 201 cu.in. 4 cyl to a 262 cu.in. 6, 4 speed with a reverse lockout, flat hood, exposed radiator, still a work in progress, hope to pull it next summer.

...fixing up this old J C Higgins

 

Panheads and Ironheads and Triumphs, OH MY!... Dig on your stuff, I remember when your iron head was in Greasy Culture magazine. I have a shop stuffed with pre unit stuff that always seems to be in last place to get my attention.

 

This white Trump is beautiful! I've seen it on a couple of blogs and I always dug it. I really dig the headlights. Keep up the good work and can't wait to see what else you churn out.

The front end is a bicycle springer we got at a local store. I think it was made by electra but I'm not 100% sure. I know Monark forks are real similar but the welds don't hold up as good especially on a raked bike.

Thank you! It means a lot to me, that triumph has been a very special build to me, it took 3 years to build and I thought people would hate it. taking some time away from bikes to build my dream car, a 36 ford coupe. I hope I don't screw it up! gonna post a build thread soon...

 

this is a 1963 cushman golfster.I did a frame off this summer. It has a 2cyl air cooled 18 hp omc motor and a forward and reverse trans with a clutch. It tops out at 25 mph.Nice for around the hood.Time to sell and start something else.

 

thats some cool stuff right there.............whid

 

Sweet! Post progress pix. Would love to watch the build.

 

Well here are a few of my time robbers. Too many things I find too interesting to not get involved with. These are just cell phone pics so I hope they aren't too poor of quality. The first 3 pics are the very early stages of a scratch built engine for a yet to be built old style motorcycle.

Next is a skin on frame kayak that I told myself I just had to make.

And then there is a few of these toys, scratch built Sterling made long barreled and semi-auto.
Yep, more interests than time.
