Mad Max motorcycle

Couple of parts found in the salvage could be useful for another apocalypse vehicle. I'm thinking of a lightly armed sidecar. the big Ford Cammer was initially set out, but that'd be a stretch even for me. Besides these bike parts are half metal and not easily modified for an engine swap.



First order of business was get a rear wheel set up and make a set of swing arms.


Scratching the side car frame. I think I'll be making the body Brizio method.

Very interesting, Im watching

Mad Max Mania has bitten ya good Clay!!! LOL.

My care package salvage yard makes this a no-brainer, Skid !!

Hi Mr G,

Your certainly on a Mad Max roll Sir, please keep going, love seeing your creations coming to life...

Andy...

Completed the swing arm suspension and am hard on scratching the side car body.

Looks like another fun one:)

Looks like a fine boat!!

I hope the guy that invented Bondo is having a tall refreshing one right now on his own private beach in Tahiti !! He deserves it !
Should have better fotos of this later today, but Igore is enjoying turning the garage into an armory as he builds a  Gatling gun wannabe.

I was wondering what type of weapon this one would get. I was thinking Rocket Launcher. LOL

Here is the making of the kind of simulated Gatling gun.



Today's work. I have the side car mounts located and the gun mocked up. The barrel is too heavy so I'll have to glue it for the elevation, but it will swivel !

This is brilliant,

Looking good Clay. I love the Gattling gun.

Could you 'balance' it with a ball bearing down the middle?

Awesome

Wow, a sidecar with a Gatling gun. Fixed speed cameras are never going to be a problem with this one. Nice work Clay.

To cool for words. You drive I'll ride.

Working back on the bike  for now. Made a fender for the side car wheel from a 36 continental cover and a rear fender is being cobbled from a couple of '29 fenders. Have a cardboard pan to build a seat on.

Lookin' good Clay.

Clay, that Gattling is fantastic! How'd you make it? Any chance of a tutorial?

From a dismantled electronics parts stash, I picked out a rip saw blade for the side car's wheel, and I used two very small gears on the Gattlings crank handle.
The gun itself was made starting with an aluminum tube stuck into a larger styrene tube. A block of styrene was attached to the rear for the 'works'. .030 styrene rods were then placed all around the aluminum tube.
The base was some kind of bracket and the 'hoop' is a cut down wheel backing plate. Crank handle on a piece of wire was a white metal balustrade left over from a ship model. The 'sight' was a radiator cap gauge. Sight is a no brainer - I think the Gattlings sole purpose is to mow down anything that happens to be in front of it. Quite easy to make.
