WheelsOfGrace.com | Volume 11 Issue 4 | 25 In 1999 my friend Paul wanted to build a chopper, so he began collec ng the parts he wanted for the build and took it to Mondo at Denver choppers who built the rolling chassis. Paul picked up the roller from Mondo and started the build. He purchased a stock H-D Evo 80 cubic inch engine, a So tail transmission which he did an aluminum bead blast on, combined with a Baker 5 speed gear box, a 1 inch drive Primo Rivera belt drive, Screaming Eagle Mukini 44 carb, performance machine controls and a Woods Cam. (The bike you see our granddaughter si ng on is the finished bike). I got to ride the bike for about six months and then it was sold to the son of Pastor Howard in Kingman Arizona. In 2012 Pastor Howard was riding the bike when an oncoming car turned in front of him and he was killed. Paul told me the news and I was a mess. Pastor Howard was a powerful influence in my life, he would have communion with all us guys before a road trip and we would race against each other on our Road Kings He would always win. I had go en the salvage bike from his son and it sat in my garage for a year, all the while I had a 1930 model A up at Southern Desert Correc onal Facility being restored. The prison industry there is called Silver State Industries which has an automo ve restora on shop. I learned that they also have another shop in Silver State Industries A Resurrected Bike and a Man of God called "Big House Choppers". I was ecsta c to be able to resurrect the bike and honor Pastor Howard. The new resurrected build is running the same components from the forks back. I bought a new 200 wide So tail frame, new 41mm 2 over fork, mini apes, 21 inch front wheel and I shortened up the oil bag to fit it all in the new frame. The guys brought it back to life with fresh paint, electrical, right down to the final detail, a Holy Ghost cross on the tank. My 2014 custom HD has been "resurrected". Special thank you to Biker Bob the man behind Big House Choppers, who became our friend and brother in Christ, thanks to him our bike has been resurrected and we're back in the wind.
