Started as a Sand Shark. Body was cut into 9 pieces so it could be shortened and modified. Engine opening was moved back to orig. windshield opening. Bottom section was shortened to match engine opening. To create the nose angle. The angled end of the engine opening was cut off, split in half, and turned upside down.. Created the V you see on the front for the fork perch.. The bottom air damn was the front of the sand shark trimmed to fit the opening.. Flip up door and a swing door was added for entrance purpose .. Engine is a Small block chevy with front mount blower from Competition pack. Headers are sand shark... The forks are .032 aluminum tubing, piano wire, Styrene holders, The springs for the springer is jewelry wire wrapped and stretch Rear end was cut down, ink pen springs added, scratch built radius rods, The cross is from a Revell chopper.. Color is Duplicolour Pearl Red over dark blue metallic, Crystal Clear coat, Flames are hand painted acrylic Red. Fun build and thanks for Bob for giving the shove to get the brain kicked in..
