Thread: 2/3 scale Indian Straight Four.

Fantastic Video Trevor,

Thanks for sharing the information with us Crowie.

Regards

Keith

Bloody brilliant Trevor! I had no idea that you had made that many models already.
Thanks for showing us the journey of the Indian. And thanks for letting me contribute just a little.
I look forward to the Brough!

You mean that you have all those in your shed!!!!, now we know why you don't have a workshop, you replicated your way out of it

G'day Trevor,

It's nice to see you get a least a little bit of recognition from the ABC show.
You deserve a whole lot more than that. I think you genuinely greatly underestimate the pleasure and sheer joy watching your work take shape... gives to others.

I'ts been such a delight watching the Indian take shape. I really enjoyed seeing your own skills blossom as well. The other models are impressive, to say the least...
But with the Indian the refinement of your 'eye' and finishing skills has IMHO taken your finished piece to a whole new level of sophistication and authenticity.

I hope you enjoy the accolades that will follow, you've earnt it.

All the best,

Andrew

Search ABC Trash Models.
I've personally never seen it, and can guarantee I never will.
The last thing I'd ever wont to see a TV is me.

But if you do watch it you'll be able to see my magnificent workshop and vast array of high tech tools.
Now let's never speak of this again, it was a momentary lapse in reason on my behalf.

Cheers CAG
Trev.

P.S hope you noticed the reference to a Pink Floyd album title I managed to slip in at the end there!.

I didn't know Floyd made "Cheers CAG"?

Released on vinyl I guess...

I'm off to watch the ABC clip now.

Joe your a Scholar and a Gentleman.
Thankyou for your help with the front wheel it really was and is greatly appreciated.
The first sign of any wheel trouble with the Brough, and I'll be dodging Roo's all the way to your door!.

Thanks for that Andrew.
I think the Indian has indeed lifted the level of my work.
I really enjoy building cars and I'm sure after the Brough I'll get to them.
But what I've found I like so much about build the motorcycles is that there's no where to hide!.
If you make a mistake it's right there for all to see.
In a lot of way's that added pressure for detail and finish really drove me to lift my game with the Indian.
That and of cause the fact that it's the first time I've made something with a hole lot of people watching.

Thanks for your comments and support along the way.

Cheers Guy's
Trev.

It's hard to say anything more after all the accolades that have been heaped on you by the others before me. All I can say is that they are truly deserved comments.
It was good to be able to watch your 4 minutes of fame. It's great to see the magician behind the magic show.
I can only dream of the talents you display in this, and your previous builds. We are definitely richer by you joining this forum.

What a wonderful segment from the Collectors. Trevor, you have nothing to worry about. That is you to a tee and it gives us all a little insight into the genius at work.

And why have you hidden the hot rod?! Awesome paint job and a pin-striping nightmare methinks.

Wow .... it feels like the end of an era. What will we all do now?

Whats next?

Hi Dave,

Good luck with the trip to Horsham/Adelaide. Don't get stuck in the mud and miss hosting the Jerilderie GTG. BTW, is Mildura part of the trip?

Thanks for saying that mate, but I really think it's the other way around.
In the last year or so I've gained so much form this forum.
There's so many talent people displaying their work every day.
It's just an inspiration to do better and try harder.

Glad you enjoyed the segment.
I didn't know you hadn't seen the "OUTLAW" before.
She's my baby.
The Indian is a much better build technically, but nothing makes me smile like the Outlaw!.
That rod is sooooo whoopee I love it to bits.

The paint job on it took forever, but more of a wonderful daydream than a nightmare!.

Cheers Guy's
Trev.

P.S As you can see CAG I've also mentioned the Floyd's follow up album!.

Yeah, but Cheers Guys didn't have an apostrophe in the title...




Whoops, Trev's signed off. Nighty night....

The Brough Superior is the go!.
At the moment it's all about finding out exactly which version of the Brough SS it's going to be?.
Then getting as much good information on it as possible.
I'm sure he wont mind me saying, fletty has good contacts and is doing some fantastic research at the moment!.
It wont take to long to nail down which one it's going to be.

Cheers mate
Trev.
