Short Tracker 2.0

[1 low 64]

Well I had started this thread in “Paint booth and chop shop” but it just seems to make more sense here. Starting with a frame I picked up for $20. My plans are a pair of drum brake wheels with cream colored felt tires. The engine is a 66cc GT5, ported cylinder , coated piston with a shortened skirt, balanced crank and aluminum rod, Acme Labs clutch mod, single “boost bottle”, port matched intake, RSM billet head, Billet clutch actuator, and a few other things I really don’t want to talk about J. I’d love to take it to Death Race next year.

I hope it’ll at least be competitive at death race. I had a similar engine in my street bike (minus billet head) and with a 36t sprocket it peaked at 43mph and later 49mph with nitrous.

Got a nice look there, love the seat position mod and tank layout.

Thanks man! That really means a lot coming from you, I’m in love with your build and can’t wait to get started on my own serious boardtracker. Just need the time and to finish my current hotrod project. Great Great work by the way!

Cool! I’m building my 29 for road racing and will have a 406 small block Chevy just made 488hp and 508tq last month on the engine dyno, should be fun.

Go to spookytooth cycles.com, they put it on in Tucson/Bisbee and just looks like too much fun. I use to live in Gilbert, been thinking of moving back just to make it easier to go. Sound like a cool rod, I'm a big Sport coupe fan.

The head is a billet aluminum high compression head that Rock Solid Engines sells. I heard very good things about the performance gains so I figured I’d give it a swing.

That was the first street rod I ever built....a 28 Sport Coupe...drove it to the Western Nats a few times, The 5th Annual Nostalgia Nats....if you ever read Street rodder mag, my car was in there.383 stroker sb ran 12.2 on street tires...

Finally had some extra time to work on my tank. Still need to do some metal finishing and light hammer work, also still need to build the bottom and tunnel.

Well new tires, wheels and handle bars. I also decided to put my last and middle name on the tank. my painter who takes care of all of my shop cars has some big plans for the tank (gold leaf, 2 tone and Harley type lettering) Should be done early next year.

Before I took it apart for paint and chrome I took it to a local car show with my old 35 Ford truck that I built and sold last year.

Nice work on your bike. I love the lines!

sorry, maybe you've written it somewhere in the post but I didn't catch it - the bars are just standard cruiser bikes turned upside down and shortened or sth else? i'm talking about your first handlebars not the one taht's on the bike now

 

[1 low 64]

that’s it, just standard bars. I just didn't like the pitch they held my hands at so I went with some 60's Schwinn girls bars upside down.
