My big mini build

[Old Dinger]

Another scratch built project. 6.5 clone, 22x11-8 tires, max-torque torque converter, 72 tooth on rear, homemade header, homemade tc cover. Fenders are cut from 55 gal plastic drum. Top speed 24 mph. I'm 6'3" 230#. Pulls like a be-otch. Handles like a dream.

very cool, interesting build! Is that a totally home-built bike??

Dinger is that a USMC mini in the back... "were not worthy were not worthy!!!" Like the scratch build too. Semper Fi

 

[Old Dinger]

Thanks, yes completely built from scrap tubing and misc crap. The USMC scooter I built last year. http://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/project-logs/25807-my-scooter-build.html

Very nice job on bolth!!! Must be hell to scratch build a frame!! I've modded a few and cant imagine all the details that must be followed to a tee to build one from scrap!! :blink: How long from conception to finished product?!!

build time on yellow one, about 6 weeks. I am in bad shape, and slowing down.

 

[jdogg]

Thank you for your service, as well. :smile:
