Heads Up! Long Drawn Out Post
I haven't been on here in a very long time. I have a 70 T120R chopper project that I started probably 15 years ago and well.... just never finished. Really, I barely started it. I have all sorts of cool stuff and most of the parts from the stock bike when I got it. I finally have the funds to do this right but I feel hesitant to get off my ass and get to it. I'm sure I have the skill ( I wrench in a GM engineering area) , I also have a lot of tools and equipment. I do most of the repairs and maintenance on our 4 vehicles here at home. I think it's because I'm looking at the entirety of the project. I think if I just concentrate on one step at a time it won't seem so overwhelming.
So having said that......where do I start? The engine will need to be rebuilt. I'm going to do as much of that as possible. I have the frame/ David Bird hardtail, 39mm narrowglide front end mounted to it and a complete set of wheels and tires. An oil tank and a pretty kliller Frisco style gas tank. If someone wanted to help me with step 1 or may 2 and 3 I'd really appreciate it. It's like I need a mentor or something! lol
