Re: new project
not a lot today took too long to get the fishmouths right on the seat post and neck and keep everything square and level but it ended up 45 degrees rake and 4inch stretch in the backbone . decided not to bend the seat post i did 2 and didnt quite like the look maybe the next one . gotta pick up some wire wheels so i can start welding or at least tacking

Re: new project
Looking good Curt. Where did you pick up that brake disc? That's somethin' a little different.

Re: new project
Seem to be moving right along now that you got your welder.
Have you got a deadline/goal for completion?(Like a show or rally) Or are you going at it like I do (I'll get done when I get done)
