    FAR OUT FLYER (stick a fork in it she is done)

    i was so worried to do it because all i could think was when i cut it the frame shifting a ton. It didnt budge only the chain loosened some. So happy thank you for your ideas now time to clean and blend it somewhat Sent from my LGMS330 using Tapatalk

    to cut or not to cut? I looked it up "running a bicycle chain through the frame" nothing came up. Well always a first time. Here we go Sent from my LGMS330 using Tapatalk

    While i agree and yes that would look rad im just worried about structure. If i wasn't going to ride it all that much id go for the chain through idea however i plan on riding this one quite a bit Sent from my LGMS330 using Tapatalk

    Yea notching the frame i was going to box it in but because i basically somehow designed the chain to go smack dab into it im gonna use a roller of some sort Sent from my LGMS330 using Tapatalk

    Lol that crossed my mind and would actually be pretty neat. Issue i have is that is a pretty structural area to be doing that in. But its a possibility Sent from my LGMS330 using Tapatalk

    Yea i tried switching the cog around and it makes the chain hit the tire badly. I just basically somehow ended up with that chain almost smack dab in the middle of that stay. In fact it might hit less running it to the outside. Im working on a roller for it Sent from my LGMS330 using Tapatalk

    soooo here is where im sitting pretty dejected. I sat on it ended up going with a 5 1/2 crank got the seat mounted. Then this chain deal hit and ugh. Im going to try to find a roller to run the chain down then up. But any other ideas im all ears Sent from my LGMS330 using Tapatalk

    so let me go back to the drop outs. They worked out fine although took two shots getting them in before they were right Sent from my LGMS330 using Tapatalk

    progress goes boink. Chain runs into the frame hard. Not sure what im going to do and this puts a big wrinkle in the build Sent from my LGMS330 using Tapatalk

    finally on its wheels. Well no drop outs arnt done thats a 358 sprint car piston under the rear holding it up off the ground. I dig the tail dragger look. Tried the 426 hemi top fuel piston sitting next to it but sat too high. Also ran into a chain line issue with the upper tube and will need to...
