I finally started today to build the replacement,everything went smooth with the pipe bends and finding the right metal.
As it sits it is 9' 6'' a little too long ( wont fit in truck )
I thought I would document this build. A Huffy donor

bike will be shortened tommorow by about 10" - 12"
 
Had some welding done on frame today. I really like the lines, it kinda flows. It will have smaller tubing connecting to the original cantilever area following the top bar all the way back to make the seat stays. This one will have fenders and a rack as well as an knee action springer. It will be a 5 speed w/ suicide shift and have red tires.
