Hand Carving by Lunchbox

These cool, hand carved rocker boxes and cam cover go to the '69 motor in the Harvey's bike below. Lunchbox is a pinstriper and custom fabricator as well. His only other set of hand carved rocker boxes are owned by John Collins. If you want to get ahold of Lunchbox for some of his cool custom work call him @ 832-642-3440

Tom on a '69 Shovelhead Custom
This bike is owned by Harvey Ezell (pictured below with his family) but Harvey lives in Japan and the bike lives at American Heli-Arc in Houston, TX - Harvey always has a ride waiting when he visits town~!


Hey Harvey - what do they say about possession being 9/10ths of the law?

Harvey, Maki and son
This is the BEFORE picture with the late model motor - since then the motor has been replaced with the '69 Shovelhead motor (pictured above). 1969 is the year Harvey graduated from high school.
With close inspection you can see the steel in the flames of the custom paint job by Wayne Miller.
Hal Cort designed the wiring harness and did all the mechanical work involved with making this cool bike run.
Pin striping by Joe Cartullo.

Bubba Rides Again!
Tom Young's Macaw, Bubba, perched on Greg's Custom Softail. Work on this bike included a custom gas tank, rear fender, oil tank, etc. Also, we removed the steering neck, changed the angle and rewelded it back on the frame. This is typical of the specialty bike work done at American Heli-Arc.


Don't worry Greg, Bubba didn't go far.

Hal Cort With His Dragster

Pictured here with Hal is Joe Cartullo the famous pinstriper. This is another fine custom paint project by Wayne Miller.

Hey Chris can you really ride in those shoes????

Chopper 'N Hot Rod

This bike belongs to Thad Miner - work on this bike included custom steer neck geometry which entailed cutting off the old front end and replacing it with a custom machined steering neck with stops designed by American Heli-Arc's crew and machined by Doug Grider.

The '32 Highboy car was owned and built by Jon Marchman.

Victory Motorcycle Tank

This project included a fuel injected intake going through the gas tank - a one of a kind machine custom built at our shop!

Greg Garret Built His Bike

This Custom Softail features one of American Heli-Arc's custom steering necks with rake and trail geometry - one of our specialties.
Greg actually designed and assembled this bike himself with the help of American Heli-Arc.

Dutch's Chopper
This bike was built at American Heli-Arc for William "Dutch" Hagenback, an airline mechanic who builds many of his own motorcycles and uses us for his specialty fabrication needs. This project included steering neck rake and trail geometry, customized gas tank, both fenders, a custom sissy bar and a custom front tool bag mount which does not touch the front end of the bike and is mounted from the lower triple tree. This type of co-creation with customers is one of the unique features of American Heli-Arc

Jim Hodge's Custom FXR

Work on this machine included a 120" motor built by Vern Ott which has a side by side rod, custom heads and valve geometry all designed by Vern as well. The frame was designed and built by American Heli-Arc.
This was a truly unique project because this bike was built as a surprise gift for Jim Hodge by the employees of his company!

Cor VanEgmond's Cool Custom

This bike has custom tank, fenders, sissy bar, tool bag and seat created by American Heli-Arc. Custom paint by Milburn.

Yes, there are bikes in these pictures and of course Tom, too.
