sweet... i like how you put a sticker, lol gotta make a plug for the company, lol

is that some type of bedliner material? or is that just paint?

Twisted Minis · « **Reply #211 on:** Jun 02, 2007, 10:47:40 PM »

Its just paint. It already had some faded undercoating on it. So I sprayed undercoating over the welds and painted everything with a rust tough enamel gloss black. It turned out pretty good.

I like the sticker location. Its subtle. And hes getting a different rear window. There also one on the front windshield in one corner, and the other corner has a Grant Kustoms sticker. Hes got a rollpan, it just doesn't fit because of that sweet dent. So I didn't put it on there. Lol.

And the skull on the side is my logo. Its a skull and cross bones type deal I drew up, but with ball pein hammers. That became my trademark when I was building minibikes. I always used them as kickstands.

Good job on the Mazda

I think he has his tail pipe wrapped up. keeps the heat away from everything under the truck. that doesnt look like the flex pipe, i use the flex pipe

and i know what it looks like.

oh, my flex pipe is metal. i wouldnt use a plastic tail pipe

Its header wrap. The guy was really really set on it after he saw it on my truck.

Haha nice, I like the hammer as a kick stand.

Twisted Minis · « **Reply #217 on:** Jun 03, 2007, 02:48:23 PM »

Thanks. I did it on just abut every bike unless it was requested against.

Last pictures.

Tallchevy · « **Reply #218 on:** Jun 03, 2007, 03:03:01 PM »

Great job

Air up the bags, I want to see it all the way up.

Twisted Minis · « **Reply #219 on:** Jun 03, 2007, 03:11:44 PM »

Alright I'll go try it.

Twisted Minis · « **Reply #220 on:** Jun 03, 2007, 03:48:29 PM »

I can only get 35 PSI in each corner. The front suspension will travel up another 4 inches, and the back should do another 6-8, but needs more PSI. The compressors won't put much pressure in it, but he plans on running nitrogen so it shoudl go up pretty high.

But here it is with 35 PSI in each corner.

And here is what I would consider ride height, 15 PSI front and 10PSI rear will ride nice.

Damn I thought you built low riders what is that thing a 4x4. Just kidding

Mini Trucks, and a damn good job too, Twisted Minis

Thanks for showing pic's of it up

I was showing my 12 year daughter the build of the Mazda & wanted her to see it with air in the bags. She likes it. I was explaining how I used to have a lowered truck & was going to 3 wheel my 90 Toy ext-cab & do a double diamond tilt bed back in 94. It got stolen while I was saving for the parts. I would air bag one for sure if I ended up with one again. Many props, you do excellent work

Twisted Minis · « **Reply #225 on:** Jun 03, 2007, 08:12:16 PM »

Thanks man!

You were definitely a 90s minitrucker. They used to build a lot cleaner trucks back then. Now we've got a lot of hack jobs on the scene.

Twisted Minis · « **Reply #230 on:** Jun 04, 2007, 03:27:05 PM »

That was the first bike I did. I really liked that one, it was a blast to ride. I really need to build another one to match the Yota.

I'll consider it. I kind like the one I got. I was gonna mount one in the bed with some type of clasp for emergency use.

Twisted Minis · « **Reply #233 on:** Jun 05, 2007, 09:32:53 AM »

Twisted Minis · « **Reply #236 on:** Jun 05, 2007, 01:14:40 PM »

Yeah theres a picture of the drum brake. I thought it fit well with the oldschool theme. And I made a horseshoe brake lever up front. It worked pretty good. Got a little brake fade when you had ot stop quick from 50 but thats about all. That bike was ridiculously fast. It did 0-50 in under an 18th mile. I think we timed it around 5 or 6 seconds to 50 MPH. My neighbor, the cop, got out his radar to confirm how fast we were going.

See the horseshow here.

I really miss that bike.

I went to the "Bodyshop" to fit my Mazda bench today. Seat goes to upholstery next week.
