Hannibal's Elephant

[jimson]

G,day Mick I,ve been a bit slack and haven't done much. Had to buy a two way tap for the tank and new tank rubbers front & back. The battery is in a makeshift holder under the seat for the time been. I,m going to make some aluminium side plates and underneath will hide the battery and electrics. Hopefully I can make it all look oldschool. Jimson

I,m thinking of cutting the back loop off the frame. Behind the seat to make it look more dirt then road if that makes sence  Jimson

I like it Garry....every little detail like that adds to the bikes individuality.

G,day Firko my son Tom got himself a tig  So I let him loose. I came home from work and his almost finished. I like the idea of us both having ago makes it more fun when you're riding it knowing that it's a father & Son build.  Jimson

I was watching young Tom tig weld the loop this arvo its like balancing mercury he makes it look easy  I can only stick weld and that looks like bird shit    Hannibal is starting to look like the vision in my head I had from the start  Jimson

There's nothing wrong with having a brain storm of ideas. I,m always open for other peoples thoughts. Most of this project was built in the back of my head years ago  I,m just putting thoughts into actions now  Jimson
