I'm a minitrucker at heart... (PICS)

Even though I don't have any trucks in my profile, that is what I long to do. I'm dying to dig into my old rudty truck, and make something of it, and I'm on my way now, thanks to another hobby. I work on motorcycles, which is a hobby of mine, to support other hobbies. I've recently taken a job at a new custom shop, and I'm being paid quite well, so I am hoping to be able to afford an air managemnt kit and a 4 link in soon time.

Now, onto what I started this thread for. Even though I work on bikes all day, I'm a mini trucker at heart. I've always loved air ride, and I was recently put in charge of the shop bike project. When I got this news, I immediately thought to ditch the stock suspension... So, here are a few pictures of the bike, and the upper rear air bracket I made (which isn't done yet).






I know some of the welds don't look so pretty, so don't be too hard on me... I mean, I'm only 16, I don't have much time under my belt...

Cool idea. Show some pics of it laying plastic.

Will do, as soon as its together.

A few layers of powdercoat. All metal...

lookin good , keep us updated , i wana see it layin plastics

u build tha mini chopper?????? hit me up with a im on here

I'll keep updating as I make progress. I wan't to see it laying plastics as well. The bike is completely dissasembled as of now, and things are being powdercoated, and everything is hopefully going out to paint tomorrow. This thing has to be done in less than two weeks... I've yet to build an exhaust, or rearsets, and I have a lot of wiring to do...

Yes, I did build the mini chopper. It's under my profile, if you would like to take a look. I will send you an IM as well.

Okay, tank is in for prep work, and the plastic mounts are almost done. As soon as they are, they go for paint as well. The forks are pulled in so the plstic will lay, but the wheels are not mounted. The forks will actually compress another 2 inches, so I'm fairly confident that I will be able to lay plastics. I'm not worried about the back, I could put a 4 inch block under the wheel and still lay...

a street bike with an adjustable suspension,that would be tight. All painted up,when its parked u can completly sit the frame down,and it will balance its self. rims tucked in,that would be sweet.
