THE SPORTSTER KING OF THE MIDWEST
It's hard to believe Dan Dellostritto started Death Co. Choppers only 2 years ago. In those two years he has built over 30 Sportster choppers utilizing The Gasbox full frames and a slue of Lowbrow Customs parts.
Keeping that "Midwest Tough Guy" look but never building the same bike twice. He has been absolutely killing it and pumping out builds faster then the Harley-Davidson factory.
The self-proclaimed (well, others may have said it as well) "Sportster King Of The Midwest" has been extremely busy!
The Sportster King Of The Midwest
With the new Big Twin frames in the works from The Gasbox, Jesse thought it would be a great idea to send Dan the first prototype and see what he could do with it.
Wrenching on the BT No. 1
Within 3 weeks Dan had the roller laid out, mocked up, and his tins off to paint. He was able to get DCC BT No. 1 done in less than 2 months. Just in time to show it off at Fuel Cleveland! The bike came out absolutely killer.
Define the Great Lines and Big Twin Choppers will rise again!
I went down to Columbus Mid July to get the first look at Dan's BT No. 1 build as he calls it. As I walked up the driveway my eyes immediately locked in on the bike, "Damn, this bike is F*ckin' Nice!" I blurted out.
Under a bridge in downtown Columbus.These new Gasbox Full frames will make the world of building a Evo, Shovelhead, Panhead, or Knucklehead even more attainable for everyone. With the oil tank included, and most of the mounts in place, there isn't much fabrication work needed.
the bike is going to look and letting it portray your own personality.
Big Twin, Big Dan.
Dan and Death Co. Choppers is a prime example of just that. Each bike he builds is a representation of him and his own style. The Sportster King of the Midwest might turn into "Big Twin, Big Dan" here eventually with all the possibilities these Big Twin frames have to offer.
