Hi I'm Becker, a prolific builder and lifelong lover of all things that move. If it drives, flies, floats, or rolls, I want to be behind the wheel, stick or handlebars! I just love machines that move!

Blue

I turned an old 69 3/4 ton camper special, into an absolutely bitchin' hot rod!
This is " Blue" she's my girl! I did this build from start to finish in nine days, by myself, in a storage shed... true story!
Blue has a personality of her own and she's a scrapper, so look out!

Baby

I turned this 1983 Mitsubishi mighty Max or Dodge Ram 50, as it's branded here in America, into this cool little hot rod, right here.
Diesel powered, the front of the hood became the visor, I chopped and sectioned the roof, took an old 37 international water truck grill, that I found in the desert and shortened it up about 13" and cut into multiple pieces, then leaned it all back and raked it out and then rewelded it.
I took an early Chevy beam and some old Kawasaki Wheels (a trick I've used many times) and adapted them all to work together. There's way too much to explain here, but this was a really fun build, on a really tight budget!
I wanted a hot rod, but I just could not afford to build one, so I took that incredibly ugly truck and turned it into a badass little hot rod!
I call her "Baby" and she now lives in England.

Bat Bike

This bike was initially built, for The Dark Knight series, but never made it to the silver screen.
I used a 1776, (a punched out Volkswagen engine) and a 4-speed automatic Toyota transmission, to drive this beast!
I machined out a GM HEI (High Energy Ignition), custom electric fans, remote input and center hub steering, plus I machined the wheels, to make the whole apparatus work.
That sexy girl is sitting in my shop today, but I'm getting ready to drop a boxer 6, in it, and I long ago switched it over to hydrostatic final drive. She aughta shit and git!

The Commuter Pod

Here's another film built vehicle... I love trikes! This was initially single cylinder, diesel powered, with a CVT transmission. It has since been updated to a 3 cylinder diesel and is all fluid, final drive.
This had to be carved out of foam and then hand laminated and then the windows cut and door openings door jambs. The chassis was built inside of the body and made to come apart. It can reassembled outside of the body, for major repairs or service work and then be reassembled, back inside the body.

The Power Board

Here's my niece on an early prototype of a vehicle called, "The Power Board". I did the initial concept as a military assault vehicle. They were to be folded up and stuffed inside a fiberglass tube and then parachuted out over rough terrain, for Delta or Seal teams or anyone in a combat scenario, requiring a single passenger, rough terrain vehicle.
This is the civilian model. It's hard to tell from those pictures, but Josie's 11 or 12 there and that bike is 8 ft long, 15 inches of clearance from the deck, to the ground, 5 ft 7 in tall at the handlebars, the tires are 24 inches tall by 1 ft wide and those ran the "Animal" and the "World Formula" engines and a performance CVT. `

Celebrity Trike

This trike was purpose built, for a celebrity, who often times finds himself cruising the boardwalks and beaches of Southern California, but didn't want an ordinary bike, like everybody else!
This is an extremely detailed build and I machined out the front forks, machined out the rear wheels and hand built every detail of this bike... it was extremely detailed.
There's a spoiler, wheelie bars, fuel tank, 7-speed Shimano transmission, a billet suicide shifter, air ride, under the custom, hand tooled steel and leather seat, tiny functioning disc brake calipers, in the rear, with ventilated custom rotors. I had to hand make every inch of this trike, from the hubs, to the wheels, to the chassis, to the faux fuel tank, but in the end... it was really worth it!

Scooter Truck

This was an 86 or 87 Honda Helix, that I to removed all the plastics and built a tube frame around it and then sheet metaled it in, to form a little 50s looking pickup truck.
I actually drove this truck for years and took it everywhere. Looking back, I don't know how I didn't kill myself?
I still have it!

Midnight Runner

About 8 years or so ago, I had to try an electric motorcycle, so I started messing around with some dry erase board and just some pieces I had laying around.
I have been drawing this shape and this bike, since I was around 4 or 5 and really had no way to pull it off, because the lack of space, inside the body panels.
But I had initially thought about a pit bike motor and begin to mock it up like that.
But then progressed immediately into an electric version and a gas version, as well.
I have always been fascinated with the moonshine runners of the twenties and early 30s. When I was building this bike I had envisioned it, being the ultimate moonshine runner. Quiet, black and stealthy, but with a little bit of cocky and a little bit of shine... no pun intended!
I had just watched the movie "Lawless" a few years before and was just enamored with the whole idea and that's what really started the process, where I went electric.
This beauty is sitting inside my shop right now and it's really just more of a work of rolling art. Again, I had to make every inch of it, which is a pain in the ass, but it's the most wonderful process!
Those panels are laser cut out of a military grade plastic, that I get and aluminum panels. I had to ball mill those side covers by hand and it was about 80 hours... never again!
The motor is inside the rear wheel and the batteries behind the body work. It uses my remote steering, that again, appears on a lot of my builds.
This dude hauls ass and will literally come out from underneath of you, if you aren't planted on that thing, securely!
