Bro...I have been involved with CHOPS and builds for 38 years. I have a shop in central Minnesota. I donate what I can to the local (Minneapolis MN) shop class although I am 150 miles away. My take is.....when I was in shop class in '68, I soldered up a couple of ash trays and when it was wood class, built a few bird houses. Now my main bro and instructor of this special class is "TEACH" (Kevin Baas at Kennnedy High School and see him at www.baasmetalcraft.com if you want cool parts) and he teaches the "kids" how to build.....fricken' choppers!!! How cool is that? You have sold your soul to the choppers gods in a great way, bro. I belive in bartering and what you gave for parts was your talent at what YOU DO and sell....a part of you. And I would bet, you do super work and are meticulous in everything you do. You are to be congratulated and I cannot wait to see your scoot. It will not only be a low cost project to you, but a perfect build using the same talents you barter. GOOD LUCK and if you are in Minnesota....I need my bathroom remodeled too! I have parts galore! Great things will come your way and remember....Keep the greasy side down! Take your work seriously although others may say "you're lucky, I say you are a good barterer' (is that a word?)!

What is it with Wakefields? by: Bob Wakefield
Okay Frank, we must be of the same gene pool or something as I also barter for parts/paint/help. It's the only way to go, I don't have an unlimited fund pool as some do so this is THE BEST way to get what you need and help someone out with their projects.
