Hey guys, some of tou have seen my custom rigs coming together. Figured i would build a 1 24 scale chopper to mount to my 352 peterbuilt cabover. So origanaly i was just looking for a diecast bike to scrap for engine , wheels fenders and build a custom frame. But stumbled across this cherry bomb model kit that i have no use for but it came with a chopper so i fugured what the heck. Never built a bike befor and more of a super bike fan but always loved OC choppers. Figure it would fit in my theam this year of doing stuff i have never built befor.
DRIFTING My anti drug
This is the kit i got, also decided to get a molding kit so i could cast the engine. After 2 trys at making the mold i got it figured out and have 6 engines molded for future bikes.
Pic does not do justice. So figured since i bolded a couple engines i should customize it. And if i mess up i have extras haha.
I like the looks of the exposed belt so i decided to hollow out the case and start my mock up of the drive belt. Also decided lets do somthing rely cool and put a suiside shifter as well
Mock up so far, still need to figure out the carb and intake. Then start the frame
Did not like the cherry bomb gas tank so i removed that section of the bar will make a new gas tank. As far as the fender goes. I will be removing that too
Not a big fan of the masive rake the front forks where so i chopped them down a bit. Will be using the rear tire for the front and since the original front rim was small i will use it for the rear with a wide barrol from one of my old car rims
Also did not like the tall handle bars. So chopped them off and made flat bars instead. And cut off the front bar handles and added them to my new set. But since i have the suiside shifter with the clutch leaver on it i need to shave it off the handle bar later
Test fitted the forks with the rear tire on the front. Engine sits bot to bad. And found a barrel for the rear
Chopped up a tire to fit on the barrel. And fitted the actual rim in it
I have this kit as well. really only got it for the chopper, but i might build the car just for something to do one of these days. i like the belt drive & suicide shifter. nice touches.
Haha thanks bro, did not like the tank. Now i need to figure somthing out for it
