Born-Free 4! Win 1 of 2 1969 Shovelheads!


In case you didn't know, this year at Born-Free 4 we are giving you the chance to win one of two 1969 Shovelheads! Last year we did the amazing Garage Company built 1946 Knucklehead and we racked our brains trying to figure out how to top that...well this is it! The posters with free ticket to win are still only $25 in person and online (PLUS this year shipping is free in the 48 states!!!) and you need not be present to win this time. Lowbrow Customs is one of our top sponsors for the show and they are handling all the online sales of the posters/tickets and lots of limited edition merch items too so CLICK HERE to visit their site to buy your posters/tickets or you can still get them in person from us at events we'll be at, at the Garage Company in LA, and Classic Cycles in Orange, CA so far.
One of the bikes is a nice clean stock dresser, the other is a rigid chopper built by Kiyo at the Garage Company again...this is gonna be awesome! June 30th, 2012 you better be at Oak Canyon Ranch again!
You can keep up to date with all the Born-Free news at the Born-Free blog CLICK HERE
Thanks for the continued support! The show will be free to ride or walk into again this year!

wow

Today is a monumental day...i am about to start working on my '68 Ford F-100 again! I started this baby probably a good 5 years ago while i was working on Classic Trucks Magazine...did TONS of work to it already...Lots of chassis work getting the former twin I-beam truck to sit right on coil overs (never been a fan of air even though stuff looks great slammed. I worked with Ford Racing and put in the first Ford 3-valve Modular V8 into a non-stock application, it had an '08 4.6L V8 now with a Ford Racing/Whipple big boost blower kit (adapted from an '08 Mustang), plus a beefed up T-45R Tremec, 9" posi/3.55:1 gears, etc. First set of American Racing Magnum 500-style (AR500)wheels, 18" redlines, i snuck AC in the truck, but rearranged the dash so it looks natural and hid the lines coming from the compressor, bent, cut, and welded up custom aluminum hardlines off the condenser...trick fuel Aeromotive system all in 1/2" stainless hardline, fully tig welded mandrel bent stainless exhaust system, etc...yeah, lots of work. I gotta get it done in 2012!
