Hey everybody,

My name is Brandon 31yrs old married father of 4, union distiller, back yard gear head fabricator. Been building air-cooled VWs since I was 15, have had over 150 vehicles in the past 16 years. I guess you could say its my vice, wife hates it. But i tell her its better than hitting up the local pub isn't it!

Avid outdoors man do a lot of bow hunting "deer, small game, fish". Stay pretty active with kids, my daughters 11,9, and 9 "long story, not twins either" keep me goin will softball, basketball, track, cheer leading, etc etc etc. My son is only 4 so he hasn't really started the sports thing yet! So needless to say I stay busy but i hit the shop every-night for a few hours after family goes to bed, its my time then!

I'm currently building a 1911 Indian board track racer replica. No pics to share just yet but frame is all tacked up and setting on some 26" bicycle wheels while i await for parts to build wheels arrive. I will post pics soon of it and a few other of my older projects.

I just acquired a engine for my Indian build, as i searched for parts i stumbled upon this sight. I scored a intek 206 at scrap yard for $8! Its missing carb, intake, and exhaust but has great compression and on hot ass coil "my pinky was numb for like 45 min" so it being a briggs I figured since it wasn't locked up it was worth a shot for $8.

So anyhow here i am OldMiniBikes.com, this is gonna look like a old bike just may not be considered mini.

Thanks
Brandon

This Indian is what I'm "cutting my teeth on" per say. Nothing against mini bikes I've had a few but I've built this close to scale I think. Wheel base is at 61" after the Indian its on to a 1915 ish Harley clone!

I'm a try to figure out this pic posting stuff. Most forums I an just use the image link from photo bucket!
