OK guys, here's my entry into the Build-Off. I've been thinking about building this bike for a couple of weeks now so with the build-off starting up soon it seems like a good time to get going on it. Basically it's gonna be sort of a 'What If?' bike. What if in the late seventies Evel Knievel signed with Murray instead of AMF to build his signature line of bikes? Think about it....there was the Fire Cat and the King Kat. Could there have been an Evel Kat???? I got the idea after finding an old comic book with an ad on the back showing the Evel Knievel line of toys by Ideal. One of those toys was an Evel Knievel chopper. So one day I was looking at my Murray catalog and my Evel Knievel AMF catalogs side by side and then the idea hit me. I'm gonna take a Sears Free Spirit chopper (I wanted a chopper with a plastic gas tank) and I'm gonna build it 'Evel Knievel style'. I'm gonna take the look of the AMF Evel MX bike and add it to the Sears chopper.
