Great MiniBiker Build-Off:DELRAY ENTRY

[delray]

yes it did end, 5 horse fan. i will try to still keep you guys posted on it ok:thumbsup: it's kind of on the back burner for now:doah:

 

[ttapa207]

were those kitchen pots stainless? and is it the same type of welding for stainless?

 

[joshhoward]

i did some work on the kick stand last weekend. fab up most of the parts and now i just need to fab up couple mounting studs for the spring:smile:

Nice do you mind if i steal this design? Good Job! :thumbsup:

 

[delray]

go ahead josh :thumbsup:i don't mind:smile:
i have not finish the kick stand yet,but i do have a finish picture from my other build what it looks like with the return spring mounted on the back. i use a very stiff spring so it can hold the the kick stand down and when i want it up,it stays up.

yes ttapa207,they where made out of stainless. you can use reg-mig wire to weld stainless. the only problem if you where going to not paint it? the welds would rust. they also can rust little too if you use stainless wire. unless you polish the welds good. then you will be ok.
.........primer and paint can fix that too:thumbsup:

Del, this is truly an inspiring build. I recently purchased a doodle and I have been racking my brain with fun ideas.. I don't have all the nice tools that you have but, you have truly inspired me to go with the retro look. BTW, I love your aqua doodle. Caught my eye when I first joined the forum and I believe it may well be my favorite. Good Job and keep up the good work! :thumbsup:

 

[delray]

thanks kozical:thumbsup: keep looking you will find alot of cool builds here :smile:and welcome aboard..............

 

[tycoonist]

Is this sweet ride anywhere near completion yet??

OK it's guys like this Delray dude that just piss me off. How in the hell can the rest of us "mere mortals" compete with him. I'm not worthy to even post in this thread (but I am).
We have a mechanic at work who is a Master fabricator like Delray and I am in constant awe of what he can do.
Hats off to Del and the rest of you talented SOBs'.
Very, very awesome build and thanks for sharing with the rest of us. The neatest thing about your build is the understated quality of the bike. The closer you look at it the better it gets.

Carry on, Dude.

Fred
