Sunday fab shop
So I've really been having the itch to create something lately. Seems like all I've been doing for the last while is cleaning and refurbishing old parts. So I was delighted when My good friend Jordan called and asked if I wanted to help him bend up a sissy bar for his chopper he's building. It felt really god to get the creative juices flowing again and knock the dust off the fab tools.

big twin flattie
I picked up a 1938 UL motor from a guy in Ohio. Right now i'm just waiting for parts to get here to put the rotating assembly together and then Loco and i will button up the bottom end.
The cases on 36-39 big twins have a sprocket and pinion race that doesn't permit line-honing, the fix is to machine out the extra steel so a later bearing race will push through. So, i took the left side over to Sluggo's Garage and we drilled the steel webbing out a million times and then i hand finished it with a file and die grinder. (if anyone reading this is a machinist, just close your eyes and skip to the bottom)
Here's some pics after the "machining":
More to come...

Happy new year!
Hope everyone had a safe and happy new years. I thought i'd share a few pics from the Fifty's Haze new years bash last night. As you can tell from the first pic, i wore my favorite vest and best shorts. The wife really got dolled up as well.
Robin, always a fan favorite with the ladies.
And of course Dirk at 6pm. This is why you are not supposed to drink buddy.
