Coolest things I saw today at SEMA, #1. The Big Twin by AEE Choppers (Tom McMullen's company) Tom used the business license for Auto Electric Engineering when he formed AEE Choppers.

The restoration was finished nearly 20 months ago, in Jan 2015 http://aeechoppers.blogspot.com/2015/01/big-twin-is-done.html 

Originally built by Dave Beckett in just 32 days

these tires are over 40 years old http://aeechoppers.blogspot.com/2015/01/big-twin-is-done.html

it was in the Sept 1970 Hot Rod magazine issue

back in 2014, before it was restored, it looked like this:

how many times it has been painted is unknown, but check out the depth of the metal flake 

it was found in pretty bad shape, as the outside seats were missing, and the carbs, and the fuel tank, but the original forks were still with it, just swapped out
