John Teresi Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hello......a few of you might know about this "Easyriders" L.S.R.H. Streamliner that I posted last year.......I built a replica 1/12 scale model of my fathers Streamliner last year for his birthday......and it was featured in "Easyriders" magazine......I am going to make another one for me......to show at future model car shows......the model in the back round is the "Jammer Cycle" Streamliner model that I posted a few months back and was also in the "Work Bench" section......I hope you will follow this new build in progress ......thanks for looking.

Rob Z Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 That's some stunning work, what you have done in just a couple of days would have taken me a month. That's if I were to take on a project of this magnitude. Great work so far, can't wait for more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Teresi Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hello.......I worked on the wheels......using the Revell 1/12 Chopper wheels.......I sanded down one of the rear wheels to become a front wheel .......I sanded down the tires to look like salt flat tires.......and cut and sanded down some round plastic disc`s to cover the wheels......I worked a little more on the front of the frame......made a front and rear swingarm and mocked up the front and rear wheels.......made a steering handle bar.......thank`s for looking.

Rob Z Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 That's some AWESOME work, judging by the handlebars, it's going to take 40 acres to turn this thing around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasticfanatic Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 WOW, simply AMAZING WORK, truly a work of art of a very interesting and impresive historical streamliner motorcycle. The craftmanship is SUPERB!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Teresi Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) That's some AWESOME work, judging by the handlebars, it's going to take 40 acres to turn this thing around... Hi Rob.....actually the bike does not turn that much ......it is meant to go straight .......and I have not completed the steering bars......the bars turn under the structure that it is attached to........it has a steering rod that connects to a pivot rod that connects to the front wheel.........you will see when it is finished.......I have the real photos of how the bike was made and I am building this bike 100 % accurate.......I just don`t want folk`s to think....... that I don`t know what I am doing.......thank`s.

Judging by the first one that made it into the ER Mag. I am sure you know what your doing, I was just being a little tongue in cheek. I am really amazed at the skill and craftsmanship involved with this build but, as with all of your build I have seen, this one is definately going to be a stunner and a show stopper also...
