This Rocking Chopper has been made to look like it was dragged
out of the Jungles of Borneo 70 years after the end of WWII.
It has been made from galvanised pipe, leaf springs,
coil springs, rolled sections of checker plate and a few more bits and
pieces. It was then washed down with hydrochloric acid, hosed off, and
left to rust. Once it had a decent coating of rust it was then treated with a specialist coating that actuallyimpregnates the rust, and finally clear coated.
This rocking horse/chopper is incredibly stable, and a similar one I
made has regularly held 4 kids at once, standing and sitting in all
sorts of positions, without ever tipping over. I can't say the same when
drunken fathers have rocking competitions at parties though! Approx. dimensions are-
Length: 130cm
Width of rockers: 38cm
Handlebar height: 60cm
Handlebar width: 45cm
Seat height: 30cm
Rear wheel width: 160mm
If you like that Junkyard, Ratrod look then this may be the "Rocking Chopper" for you!
