Taking *another* break. I've had a migraine since 10 am, and it just started to go away an hour ago.

I got a bunch of stuff done earlier, but it's slow going now. Can't move too fast or it feels like a knife is being twisted in my head

Its all that thinking and designing that's making your head hurt!

Sorry man. That's the worst when you have time to work on a thing, but you're incapacitated, or highly limited in your ability to do so.

I ended up making the cuts 1" apart, and about 3/4 of the way through the tubing

It's a very subtle effect that's hard to capture on camera, but totally worth the effort

Got one side tacked in place. Should have plenty of tire clearance. This will make the whole rear end almost 9 inches wide. Like Freddy Mercury said "fat bottom girls make the world go round"

Those are going to be some thick hips!

Good thing I double checked the wheel's axle spacing. I was going off the wrong measurement and would have made the rear end too wide😉
 
Well crud! I ran out of gas. And I was at the freaking welding supply store today and didn't check the tank before I left home first

Lots of work still to be done. Thinking about doing a subtle waisting effect on the bottom trail dragger bars. They would be the only long straight metal piece on the whole bike if I left it as is
