evil looking condor (lots of pics)
« on: September 02, 2007, 08:04 PM »
i built this as a bit of fun but also to use as a rider
im a big fan of evel knievel and mat hoffman and loved the original signature bikes but being a poor family man
i could never afford to buy one of those,so this is as close as i can get and im not to bothered if i scratch it as the decal kits are plentiful and the rattle can paint job only cost me £30 all in
hope you like it
the frame is a 1/18 th condor (not sure of year)with hoffman 1/18th 14mm superforks
here are some pics of when brianp had it(thanx mate :daumenhoch:)
and then i bought it as a bare metal frame and the forks and original ek seat i got off ebay






and then i painted it in ford olympic blue(the closest colour i could find)
and put the ek decals on(what a bast#rd that was!)

Yep Primo stuff, Jumping Bars and I would go for an all black set of Skidmarks...the EK Wembley was a 2001 model, so pull from that parts bin if you can...  :daumenhoch:

Here are the pages from the 2001 HB Catalogue:

EK WEMBLEY Edition - this one has the black padded seat, similar to the white sparkly aftermarket one of 98

thanx for your positve replies fellas :4_17_5:
the paint came out superb lots of 1200grit (no orange-peel for me!) between coats it just needs to harden a bit and then il get the rubbing compound out and it will really shine  :daumenhoch:
cheers spesh

It is a 98 Condor Bri - but the Wembley was a 2001, so it'll be confussing which parts to select to make it look right.
