we have moved

Ask me the whole story the next time you see me. But Nick, Bryan and I had to clear out of the garage we were building out of. It sucks. Nick is staying there just as a place to store his collection of tools, parts, rollers, etc. I on the other hand have moved a few miles down the road to Westport, and good ole' CJ's house. He has a real nice sized garage in his back yard he opened up to his Brother Ed, so I can have a place to work out of. I've been going there past couple of weeks to put up insulation and wire it and what not. Should have a stove for heat in there this weekend (hopefully) and then the real fun can begin. I definitely DO NOT like trying to not freeze to death while working in a shop with little to know heat when it's 20 degrees outside. But eventually in the springtime we should be up and running enough to host a "little" get-together there. I'll be posting up pics of my new place and the progress Nick and I will try to make on the WCC and the Brown Bike when i get them.

Stay Tuned.

p.s. - i been hyping this pic just cuz i want to gather up a collection of the HF pieces we all got. So if your reading this, and your inked, snap a pick and email em to me

SOLD!!

fire sale

So we're going to sell Nick's ROLLER. We're saving the shovelhead and 4spd to put in the West Coast CHopper CFL thats our next project. But this thing has gotta go to finance the first phase of operation CFL. Tell your friends. this shit is on the cheap.

Now that the wood bike is done, i can go back to posting shit that isnt related in any way to it. So to kick things off, here;s whats next from the Butcher Shop.

Yup. That's definitely a West Coast Choppers frame. It's Nick's CFL. He bought it years ago when WCC had a sale on shit, paid SHORT money for it. We're going to take the drivetrain outta the green shovelhead to put in here over the winter. Stay tuned.

Here's the tank for the CFL Nick's been working on all week. It was a british Sportster tank he loped the front off of to dish it. We've never tried this before, so it was a learning experience. But some sheet metal from Ace Hardware and some welding, and this is what you get.

Josh from Gengstout.com

Eventually this thing will be gone and i'll find something else to over-post about. Until then...

I dragged Josh from Gengstout over to the cemetary near the shop for a goth photoshoot. If it hadnt started fucking raining we couldve gotten more nasty shots like these.

been busy lately

The first couple pics were taken by a friend of ours. Jesse takes photogs of peoples weddings and what not. This was his first take at shooting a bike. They came out absoultely awesome. I like the leaves piled up next to it in the 2nd one.

Then of course we had to had try something a little different. Dallas Dave put together a shoot at high-end woodworking shop. He got our friend Matt to shoot it and Dave even went so far as to get a girl to donate her time and talent to make the bike (it's there in the back) look that much better.

Thanks to all these people who made this happen. After wrenching this heap together over the past year, it's really rewarding to see it getting the star treatment.

I'll post up all the full size pics sans watermark once Nick and I get together with the photogs to choose the final prints. Until then, enjoy.

I wanted to put this up. Anne took this a couple weeks ago at Lou's house. Here's CJ's pan-shovel all done. Those are the tins i posted at the begining of the summer, in action.

parts delivery

I'll let the pics speak for themselves. Finally got the gas tanks back. I jumped right in and mounted them on the bike. Now the wooden bike is really falling in place.
