For Sale. . .D's Harley.

The name says it all! It's easy to see from the paint color on the tank that this Mongrel Hog is pure stealth with shit loads of grunt thrown in. . .

Pretty good lookin Scooter, in fact it's a 2013 Sportster with over $8000 of optional extras dealer fitted by Harley Heaven in Melbourne. . . BTW, all the original equipment is still in the boxes supplied and come with the bike, this also includes a spare seat for those who like to ride two up. . .

 This particular scooter has been set up with the Factory Stage 1 kit that includes the stage 1 filter seen here and that horny as hell set of Vance and Heinz pipes. Geez man, you should hear the note coming out of those fuckers!

Absolute three dimensional art! As well as all the previously mentioned custom features, the bike also has lowered shocks, forward control arms and custom grips to go with the new bars. . .

I just love the look of those pipes, they really set off what is one Ball-tearin' scooter. Shitloads of tread on the tyres coz there ain't been no tyre burning on this baby. . .
You want it, then start thinking about 13K and then give D a call. . . Mob # 0429 055026

D's Harley . . .

For those of you who have been wondering what has happened to the pics of  D's Harley that is up for sale, watch this space for a full photo shoot tomorrow. . .a truly fantastic ride!

Cliff's F100 . . .

'D' Day at Hodgeys. 'D' has spent most of yesterday and today getting these joins right so that the lines flow and the joins butt up perfectly. Think that it is an easy job, then think again. Those rear guards are made out of pretty flimsy sheet-metal and any heat applied by the welder warps the shit out of them. Anyway, with a bit of patience and a few choice words the guards finally lined up and now look fantastic . . .

This is a pic of the matching running board and you can see that the joins and folds in the metal flow in three different directions at once, so again, not so easy to accomplish let alone match it up to a guard that has a mind of its own. . .

Simplicity is usually the best approach and on this occasion the guards butt up to the running boards and two simple bolts hold it all together so that it is an easy job to raise the tub for demo purposes at car shows. . .

'56 Ford Customline . . .

 Here she is, fresh back from the Panel Beater/Painters. It's now time for the boys to re-asseble her and then get her running again ready for her new life on the road. . .

Pictures are a little dark but the car is a gorgeos shade of maroon over white and as you can see, Dave is spending a little time down the back end installing tail-light assemblies and side chrome dressings. . .

For those of you who like to dream, this is an original photo of this exact car before she was dismantled and the restoration process began. . .

Cliff"s F100 . . .

'D' is back and straight back into Cliff's F100 and if you look closely he's decided that it's about time to trim up his rear guards? Nah, just pulin ya leg, after fitting the side steps into the rear guards that leaves a small problem. You see Cliff's tray is a 'tilter' and it's pretty hard to tilt the bastard when it's welded to the running boards that are attached to the frame and front guards. . .

From the previous pic, you can see that 'D' has made a cut throught the guard and this pic shows one of the newly fabricated brackets that have been welded into place behind the guard. Another one of these brackets will be welded into place and when the tray is lowered the two brackets will butt up together and can be held in place with a simple nut and bolt. . .

Here's one that we prepared earlier on; sounds like a friggin cooking show? But this is the LHS of the tray and you can see that 'D' had nearly finished the fabrication . . .

Salt Racer . . .

Salty's back on the menu again and this time the boys seem to have been 'off their nuts' when they installed the radiator? Pardon me for mentioning it, but isn't the radiator supposed to go in the other end, just in front of the propeller???

Close up of the custom made radiator and twin fan set-up. Big dollars and big rear mounts to hold the beast because there wasn't enough room up front for a proper sized radiator that would handle the cooling of the 'hot' little Flathead. . .

Speaking of up front, every decision that is made when doing up older style cars is usually made from a collectin of ideas. The rack and pinion path didn't work as well as expected so Hodgey had Dave rip it out and now Andrew is mounting the steering bx from a HQ Holden instead . . .
