Well, Let’s see…I took over site design and maintenance thinking that I could update regularly and keep it fresh. Yeah, that hasn’t gone as planned. I’ll do better in 2009. The shop has been busy and I will be bringing some more content to the site soon.

The ONLINE store is temporarily down. I’m finally redoing the site and have some new merchandise coming in. Please check back soon or you can always call the shop to order your Voodoo gear (586-466-6100).

Well, since the last posting in mid July, I have been to 10 states traveling with the Chop Shop. I’m having a great time and making a lot of friends. Thanks to everyone for stopping in and saying hello.

Sturgis was awesome! Congratulations to Geneva for winning the Chop Shop Ultimate build. I am truly looking forward to working together to built a kick ass machine.

Make sure to check out the new machines listed in the One2One section, and don’t forget to see where I will be Next!

Thanks
Eric

OK…OK… The new store was put on the back burner for a few, weeks? months? I’ve got way to much going on in the shop. So please continue using the current store and look for new parts and clothing in the near future.

I was in Johnstown, PA for Thunder in the Valley a few weeks back and we had a great time. If you haven’t gotten around to this event, make sure to put it on your calendar for 2009. It was really fun. Thanks for all the hospitality.

I was also in Texas for ROT. As usual we had a blast. Eventhough it was around 100 degrees, everyone was having a great time. Thanks to all those who visited.

A new page was added to the site. Called @Work, it gives you an idea what we are working on in the shop.
Thanks
Eric

Well… the new store is taking longer than expected. It should go up soon. There are a few minor updates to check out, including an updated history page.

We are going to be at the Republic of Texas (ROT) rally this coming Friday and Saturday. At the CopenhagenWestern Legends rig. I will be doing sheet metal shaping demonstrations and signing autographs. Make sure to say hi if you are there.

New ReBirths have been added to the site. Make your way over to see what's new.

I will be updating the store this week. It will have new pics and new parts!
Thanks
Eric

Just over 30 days since an update, I've been real busy. I just got back from Myrtle Beach bike week and we had a great time. Thanks to everyone that came out to the Chop Shop and visited. New bikes will be up soon along with a new store and PARTS. Keep checking back, things are moving fast.
Thanks
Eric

Well I didn't get a chance to upload earlier this week, but I did upload a few ReBirth machines today!

ReBirth refers to stock bikes that have been redesigned by Voodoo Choppers. Many of the bikes are completely redesigned and have little in common with there birth-rite . The drivetrain is usually retained, everything else is replaced or modified.

I have done a bunch of ReBirth machines over the years. I really enjoy building them because they are more complicated and challenging than a ground up.

Thanks

We were in Gaylord, MI last weekend for the 3rd Art on Wheels show. Although they got a few inches of snow late friday night, the attendance was still very good. It was great to see everyone again. Thanks for having us be a part of your show.

Eric

A couple bikes have been added, along with some format changes. I've been getting good feedback on the new site. We have some great ideas for the near future so make sure to check back often! If your hip to Twitter...follow along.

We will be in Gaylord, MI this weekend for the Art on Wheels show @ TreeTops.

Thanks
Eric

I was planning to get a bunch of bikes loaded to the site last weekend, instead, I spent it with my little girl. She's going to be 4 in a few weeks and time is fly by. As much as I love working, I would rather spend the time with her.

I am getting email daily from folks who are going to the Cope Chop Shop and designing a bike to win a chance to build it with me @ Voodoo. Thank You all for entering and Good Luck. Keep the email coming, it's great to hear from people. This is really a kick ass program, make sure to get over there and check it out!!!

Anyways...A few format changes and some bike specs for the bikes online.

Eric

By the way...
We moved into a larger facility in October of 2007. We're now located in Clinton Township at M-59 & Groesbeck.

Many people are wondering why we moved so far from the Rochester shop? Now Fab Kevin and I are located next to each other! Kevin and I are good friends and we thought it would be cool to locate next to each other.

We're going to have an open house soon, so check back for more information.
Eric

Finally!!!

I decided to update the website and change things up a-bit. We are going with a much simpler design and format so it can be updated quickly. My goal for this year is to get back to basics... so this site is going to provide good information and keep up to date with what's going on in the shop. The Home page will contain this web-log and provide you with an area to see updates quickly.

I am still populating the site with our handcrafted bikes, so check back often to see what's new.

Enjoy
Eric
