Choppers don't have to cost thirty thousand dollars. In fact, a
chopper built at home can be had for as little as five thousand
dollars. The key is the use of a donor bike for most of the
components. How to Build a Cheap Chopper documents the construction
of four inexpensive choppers with complete start-to-finish photo
sequences. Least expensive is the metric chopper, based on a 1970s
vintage Japanese four-cylinder engine and transmission installed in
a hardtail frame. Don't look for billet accessories or a fancy
candy paint job on this one. Next up, price wise, are two bikes
built using Buell/Sportster drivetrains. The fact is, a complete
used Buell or Sportster can be had for five thou or less. Now
you've got more than an engine you have wheels and tires, brakes,
hardware, lights, harness, and some sheet metal. Bolt all that
stuff to a simple hardtail frame to create an almost-instant
chopper. Most lavish, but still cheap by comparison with many of
the bikes built today, is a big twin chopper built from carefully
chosen aftermarket parts. A RevTech engine and five-speed tranny
set in a Rolling Thunder frame. Accessorize from the swap meet and
add a simple one-color paint job to create a bike no one needs to
be ashamed of.
Airbrush Bible offers something for anyone interested in the art of
airbrushing. Whether your goal is reality flames on a motorcycle
tank, or a three-dimensional eagle in mid-pounce, this new book
from Wolfgang Publications offers how-to sequences done with some
of the best names in airbrushing. To teach skulls, there's Vince
Goodeve. For Pin-ups, Tom Nguyen walks the reader through a 20 page
start-to-finish sequence. For reality flames with extra punch,
Steve Wizard takes the stage, explaining both the colors and the
sequencing. Airbrush Bible also offers help spraying on various
substrate with different media. T-Shirt artists will find advice on
the best paint to use, and how to give the image longevity. Anyone
working with hot rods and motorcycles needs to know how much to
over-reduce urethane-based paints. Hobby painters need to
understand acrylic paints, as well as the new water-borne colors.
Each chapter is a one-on-one seminar that takes the reader from the
first sketch to the finished product. Leah Gall explains all the
basic strokes needed to create nearly any image, and Susan Heidi
demonstrates how multiple, thin layers of transparent paint create
believable skin tones and a life-like effect. In total, Airbrush
Bible provides the reader with fourteen chapters, each one offering
a complete painting sequence and an interview with the artist.
Learn first hand why one artist uses watercolors while another
prefers acrylic paints. Or why some artists never use the color
black, and instead prefer a dark purple or violet. This new book
from Wolfgang Publications is a compendium of subjects, paints and
techniques; Airbrush Bible is the one how-to book any airbrush
artist needs on his or her shelf.
Among the classic English motorcycles, the Triumph twins stand at
the top. Many enthusiasts consider the Triumphs to be the fastest,
the best looking, and the most popular then and now. Triumph
Motorcycle Restoration Pre-Unit, takes a thorough look at what is
required to restore a Triumph 650cc Twin built before 1963. The
book includes two-start to finish restorations: one done on a 1959
and the other a 1962. The book provides additional information on
the restoration of a 1948 Triumph. Hands-on sequences make up the
heart of this book. Abundant color photographs show the complete
assembly of both bikes, from installation of the swingarm and
chassis parts to the attachment of the fenders and gas tank. Author
and experienced Triumph mechanic, Garry Chitwood, explains the
right and wrong way to assemble these bikes, and the little things
that separate an amateur restoration from a proper and award
winning Triumph restoration. More than just a motorcycle assembly
manual, Triumph Motorcycle Restoration Pre-Unit, includes the
overhaul and assembly of a 650cc twin engine, and the four-speed
transmission. Both operations are explained in detail complete with
photos and torque specifications. Rather than try and explain the
minute differences that separate different models and years, the
new Triumph Motorcycle Restoration Pre-Unit book offers a series of
color plates in the middle of the book that provide left and right
side view of most of the significant models sold in the 1950s and
early 1960s. Triumph Motorcycle Restoration: Pre-Unit offers the
Triumph motorcycle enthusiast 144 pages and over 450 photos
explaining how to buy, build and restore a Triumph 650cc twin
manufactured before 1963.
Whether restoring an antique John Deere or new Chevy Truck, they
both need the same finishing touch: a good coat of paint, both to
add value to a collectors item - as it's the first thing noticed -
and to protect a working vehicle. This book explains the various
types of paint available, from brush-on enamel to the latest
two-stage urethane. Ten chapters of expert advice cover everything
needed: choosing and using a spray gun, how to set up a booth with
adequate air movement, and the importance of overlapping each pass
with the spray gun. The paint job itself starts with good metal
preparation - which is fully explained - followed by the
application of filler and the first coat of primer.All steps from
bare metal to finish paint are fully explained and illustrated in
easy to follow step-by-step instructions. Also included are two
step-by-step paint jobs that fully illustrate every task necessary
to carry out a good paint job, and advice and instruction are given
on finishing touches such as roundels and logos. Suitable for the
beginner, first-timer, and expert, this book can be used to obtain
professional results with any tractor or truck using the automotive
paints available today, and is invaluable for any tractor or truck
owner.
