Very cool project Arnold and best of luck, can't wait to see how it turns out and have no doubt it will be amazing based on your other work!

Thanks for the kind words, I was a professional mechanic before I got into bikes and american muscle was where I spent the vast majority of my time. Plus the late 50's Vette's have several very distinct body lines that you don't find anywhere else which helped a lot for identifying the car

Keep up the great work and share some pics as progress is made!

Brett

Hey Arnold,

Haven't seen you around as much, likely busy with the Vette build though I see some updates on youtube that you post every once in a while, great job on that! Hope you are well and wondering if you are going to make an off topic thread for the Vette?

Brett

P.S. Just spent a day and a half between calls at work re-reading this from start to finish and amazed again and again at how amazing this is, the amount of work put into this, but above all else the unique and genius vision from day 1 on this bike!

Hey Brett,

Yepp...the Vette is getting most of my attention right now. One more movie and then I´ll take my usuall summer holliday.
Glad to hear that your checking it out on Youtube. No plans for an off topic...not for now anyway.

Be be patient my friend, as soon as the Vette is done this Project will blow you away.

The Retro Fighter 4.0

Great to hear from you Arnold and glad you are doing well, the Vette is looking good and coming together well!

As for Retro 4.0 WOW, that is a serious piece of hardware you have in the back of that poor vehicle there HAHAHA, 1200cc maybe??? Can only imagine how hot that will be and the beast that will be dropped into, will keep my eyes peeled for the new project when you get around to it.

Stay in touch buddy and would love to chat and shoot the breeze, will send you a PM and see what I can learn about that sweet Vette too

Brett

Ok, Arnold, now you have me interested in this one... I'm excited to see what you have in store here, and I'm sure it will be another killer project when she's done!

Some more info about Retro Fighter 4.0

I´m trying to get the ZXR750 Engine into a Yahama R1 frame. Wonder why ?
Well so do I...guess I like the look of the R1 frame better than the ZXR.

Yeah...and the pics weren´t published...crap !
Will give it a try in some days again

Let´s try smaller pics..

Engine and rear frame mounths ready for some welding..
Shit, this build will get me into sooo much trouble :woohoo:

Very very very kewl Armo!!! Thanks for sharing and can't wait to see where this one leads, will be following with extreme interest!

Brett

Thanx Brett,
But again...you´ll have to wait a while to see this one getting ready. Need to get the Vette running first :whistle:

You have any ongoing builds ?
