motor cameos with J.P.R.C... iPhone photos gone wild

Once in a while you gotta put it all in perspective and realize the beauty motors that you are lucky to see every so often... some people will never see one of these things. Luckily i get to roll with cats who actually ride them... not just talk about them

1st... a progress shot of my 45...

2nd... Knuckle... my dream motor... one day i'll do it

3rd... Panhead... real deal shit...

4th... Shovel... guys are choppin these up a ton nowdays... its kind of the vintage motor that wont break the bank

All of these motors were the heart and soul of choppers and bobbers come and gone... just remember no matter what anyone is doing thats "new" of "hot"... was probably done 10 times over and better, 10 different ways... and no matter what you do to a xs650 cb750 late model sporty or EVO... it will never one of these

We're under 2 weeks away!

Well after the past weeks of craziness since the last update pics, the shop is essentially finished! We'll be talking with our suppliers to ensure that we have a good product mix and representation at the shop, but don't forget we can get pretty much ANYTHING you need us to: Bobbers, Choppers, Cafe, Streetfighters &  Super Sport!!! Maybe some Dirt Bike... Enduro...uhhhhh... except E-bike crap!!!... get stuffed you tree huggin nancies!!!

The shop will be boasting a ride-up bike parking area only inside the shop garage opening, with a little lounge area to kick back and talk two wheeled stories or just shoot the shit about your newest project, or talk about the project you just rolled in on! We'll also have some loaner tools available for use on site if that plate bracket came loose on your hardtail, or your apes twisted back from hittin a monster pot hole. The garage door is directly off of Dupont St. so look for it to be open. There's also bike parking in the alley next to the shop; and across the street in the huge parking lot for "the cages".

Our summer hours will focus on trying to be open later for all you guys doing the 9-5 grind that hate the fact you can never get to places before 6pm... so we'll be open from later during the day to later at night. If you need to come by in the morning thats cool too! Just shoot us an email and we will make sure that someone is there to help you out and get you sorted.

We'll be publishing an official opening date and opening bbq date shortly so keep checking back!!

More progress pics!!

Here are some more build pics from the shop for everyone! The windows are all taped up so not many have seen what is really goin on in here...

Garage door barn board surround

This sign was inspired by those old western saloon type deals... Made of vintage barn board and 50 year old conduit pulled out of the shops roof during renos. Its actually one long piece of old stainless bent and curved into a concstant cursive style lettering... finished off with iron branded lettering... This beauty will be put up on the outside of the building as our main sign. We've strived to re use as much of the original building materials from this great space of ours as possible, so we are very proud of this creation...

Probably the only visible signage on the shop at this point, 

once again  formed from branded vintage board 

The cleaned up exposed roof interior, after 3 days of electrical demo and re wiring...

Yeah, yeah.... more signs blah blah blah

This beauty is hanging on the divider garage door frames with barn board, via 50 year old girder suspension chains salvaged from the the buildings interior structure & stainless conduit

Fixture build-off

People have been asking me about build update pics for the shop, so here they are!!!

And here was where this all started, with a basic 2x4 frame...

Then the start of what is to become a "check out deck" and wall display unit...

Vintage barn-board (c/o my man E.Cole) used for the fixture build...

Making walls, for future displays

First Coat of Stain onto the displays...

Wall finishings are starting to come together now...

And the finished  "check out desk"...

Thanks so much to a select few that have offered there time and help bringing my vision closer and closer to a reality!!!! I couldn't have done this without you!!!

back alley shots
