This Digger is unique among WCC built bikes in many ways. Chiefly because it is based on a swoopy bent tubing Greg Newton frame (circa 1969?) that Jesse found at a swap meet. The Girder front end is actually a John Harman original. The pipes were done by Jesse. The oil tank is another swap meet find for 5 bucks. Another unique touch is that the hand covered seat has a hole in it. The retro style paint job was applied by Pete (Hot Dog) Filand. The Gold Digger was built during the filming of “History of the Chopper”.
