His front suspension looks like the 3rd sketch (B) I posted ! I've seen it done before this , but never better !
I know I aint the first with this or any other idea , I do like to put them out there to see what someone else with a good eye and imagination can create !!

Where is this post? I'd like to see. I didn't intentionally copy or otherwise replicate anything I've seen previously.
But then we all know - nothing is new.

I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

Back at ride height..
Rear leafer is assembled but I have to make some bronze bushings and assemble using the custom hardware - this stuff is just for mockup.

- SELF INTRODUCTION: Hello everyone. first of all a big thanks to "Dan the Man". Some of you know me from the previous (2) boards and some don't, so here goes. I have been a fabricator/welder for over 40 years now. Damn that's a helluva long time to do anything! Anyways, I have built literaly 100's of street rods, pro streeters, racecars, bikes and trikes over the years. Never made the headlines and never will. I do what I do because it is the love of my life.
I enjoy reading the posts on the forum and try to contribute when I can. I am sure that this will be every bit as good as the CBH forum, as we will have most of the same folks. Good luck and post a lot of pics!! Jim - Location: Lowcountry USA
Re: Chopsmitty custom
Great fabrication and machine work!!
Whoa!...Musta stood up too fast...
