Tommy does nice work. How many people would custom paint a 12 Ga. Goose gun just for fun.

The Chevy truck project

    Well Big B came over and helped me square up the cab on Chevy today. Actually he squared it up, now i will have someone to blame if it's A.F.U! So now I will begin makin the cab to frame mounts then start mounting the nose after that. A little worried about radiator space. Keep ya posted! Tommy Two Tone.

cheap bars

I took the original uglyass bars and cut them in the center of the bottom bend at a 45 then propped the ends on 3 rolls of masking tape to get some pullback then welded them back together.
I'll need skinnier controls because I narrowed them 6". Maybe some dirtbike controls.

Big B's Winter Blues......

Pulling out the little bit of hair I have!

From an earlier post you saw my rear wheel all mounted up. Well, I have this bullshit issue. I have a big tire, a new chain, axle plates and fender that will not work with each other as a team. Its cold in my garage and the work light just went T.U. Several Dr. Peppers later I am ready to atempt this again...actually its time for me to surf the interweb. Monday Is a barbers day off...back to the garage I go. Blaine. 

Tomorrow is Monday.

Have to go back to work, had a nice few days off, but just the same this is how I feel about it.

Wheel lace work, Shop stuff.

The before shot of my High wall 18" that will be the rear wheel for my Shovel when it goes back together. A nice aluminum High wall, love them.

The after shot all laced up. Now to be trued. I need to do a 21" for the front now. A 21" high wall is damn hard to find in a 40 spoke. If I don't find a 21 I will have to use a 19".

Rats Ass Speed Chop

   Well after many possibilities, we have a new/better name for Rockwell Cycles. Kory has been wanting the name to have Rats Ass in it. The other day he threw out the name Rats Ass Speed Shop. This sounded pretty good but it still needed a little somethin. I mentioned the name to Al and he added the final ingredient. Al said, "how about Speed Chop instead of Speed Shop". And so you have it, a star is born. Rockwell Cycles has now become Rats Ass Speed Chop!!!!! I love it! Thanks Kory and Al for a killer shop name. Rats Ass Speed Chop, thats cool! Tommy Two Tone!

Check the technique

I have been busy safety wiring some stuff, one of the many things Im 50% good at! Notice the new Avons and wires...no more white walls makes all the difference on this bike. Also made some fender struts to cut down on the vibration. Now I have to convince Jeremy to help me re-lengthen the kick stand. This should be no big deal since im sure he's had practice re-lengthening some stuff!

And as this Thanksgiving Day ends I'm super full, as I'm sure we all are. See you dudes later! Blaine.

Kissell"s Brat build for 2010/2011

The build of the XS 650 Brat at Rockwell Cycles. This will be Kory's 5th bike build, not to mention assististing & co-designing on numerous other bobbers in our circle of bro's. Ultimately, Rockwell Cycles was created as a result of Kory's visions of all his buddies riding bobbers. Props Kory! Oh yeah, Kory doesn't like the name Rockwell Cycles, he prefers Rats Ass Speed Shop, any comments????? Tommy Two Tone

Thanks giving

Forgot to say with that last post, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!    From FOE

xmas is close

With Thanksgiving here Christmas is around the corner. So a picture of Santa Claus and Krampus is appropriate. Krampus is who comes and get the bad children on Christmas and treats them bad maybe even takes them to hell for a visit. Some cool cards with him on it can be found online. To the Terrors members, Xmas party the 18th. Be ready, Krampus may be waiting.

Trail post

Thought I would see if this would work. So, it is not a current project, just an older picture. The Hot Rod Sporty. It's for sale. 1200, big cams, single fire ignition, gas shocks, trapps and more.  FOE
