Big Twin almost there....just so close!

Only missing throttle and cables and a couple other items....very close to done...Paul with Bones legacy says it was the hardest build/restoration they have ever done.....enjoy!

Big Twin pipes are on!

Dave Brackett of AEE Choppers figured out these pipes the first time 45 years ago and did them again this time for Bones Legacy....looking perfect! Note the symmetry side to side...also left engine has exhaust coming out where usually intake goes in! More AEE Choppers wizardry.

AEE cast wheels available!

A great friend of AEE Choppers, Grant Peterson, came across these two original AEE cast wheels. Very rare, only about 50 ever made. These are available for sale....contact me and I can hook you up.
UPDATE: got pricing as follows "$700 on the used one with tire and $1000 on the basically NOS one marked AEE. Both for $1500. Plus freight from SoCal"

Big Twin lights up!

Wiring and lights are done....motors turned over.....getting close, very close!

Pictures from Sweden

A friend of the blog and AEE  Klaes Palmgren sent us these photos.....Tom McMullen on the Corvair Trike (could be from the film The Babysitter), Klaes filling up his chopper that is loaded with AEE parts and style and the last of our Supersport (red bike). Note on the rear of the Supersport is one of the 50 cast wheels AEE produced in the early 70's. Didn't really get production going before AEE shut down but interesting piece of history to see.

Big Twin wiring

Clear has been shot on Big Twin!

Here are a few shots that Paul Ponkow at Bones Legacy sent to me....Big Twin sitting in the sun after being cleared......

AEE chop truck completed!

AEE had a Dodge A-100 truck we used. Tom took it and built a freaky hot rod out of it for Street Roddeer magazine in the mid-70's. It eventually disappeared until a few years ago. It was found and has been restored. Here is a link to 204 pictures of it....

Drove it many times to the post office and to pick up parts but it didn't look like this...tube chassis, chopped top, blown 454 mounted amidships and so on......

Are You Ready??????

That's what Paul Ponkow of Bones Legacy in Las Vegas said to me when he sent these in....are we ready for this?  Still needs clear of course but my god they nailed it!!! Notice in the seat area the photocopies they worked from, pages out of Street Chopper, off the cover of AEE Choppers catalog etc.

and here comes the color on Big Twin!

The red is going on.....keep your eyes peeled next year for Big Twin in magazines, on covers, at shows and perhaps in some other visual media...stayed tuned and don't change that dial! More news on Big Twin coming as it develops......

Big Twin getting taped for some color.....RED!
