When Chris found out he was one of the 20 builders invited to be a part of Artistry In Iron at this years Las Vegas Bikefest, he decided to build this bike and unveil it at the show. It was a challenge trying to build a new bike while at the same time completing customer work. He started with an old frame that he had traded for some engine cases a while back. Then he found a front end on ebay that he started to chop up. He made an oil tank out of an Offenhauser Chevy 409 valve cover and then cut up a sporster gas tank to his liking. The vintage BSA rear fender was also another great ebay find. A lot of the parts were custom-made by Chris. With the help of his sales reps Sharon Reinartz and Michael Maiello, Custom Chrome sponsored the bike by giving Chris an amazing discount on many of the parts he bought off the shelf. Chris worked many long hours and a few sleepless nights to complete the bike. His good friend Casey Johnson from Headcase Kustom Art, painted the bike in 7 days. It was all worth it, especially when Chris found out he had been voted the winner.
