Been a while but my son and I installed a 1500 watt full custom audio system into his truck for x-mas! I did manage to start putting the frame back to gether though. Here is a pick of the sleeve I fabbed up to re-attach the bottom tube. This will be the same for top and middle tubes also...

This is what I'm after...a cleaner, strong weld with less clean up. Never used gas just flux core. From What I gather mig is cleaner, no slag. What kind of gas? Nito

Thx for the insite everyone. I've never tig welded. Scratch built a couple frames already and plan on more regularly. Pretty good at welding 14 & 16 gauge tubing with flux core. Pretty good at brazing also. Maybe switch my weld pak to gas for mig? Or braze instead? I'm very confident I can...

Interested in tig cuz of the low heat soak. Nito

Whats everyone using to stitch up there bikes? I use my flux core wire feed because thats what i have and it works OK. I've thaught about picking up the Harbor Freight 110v tig inverter and a tig torch for $220. What I'm wondering is, is it worth it? Stay with fluxed wire feed, add gas for mig...

The 3spd jack shaft wont work in the old BB location. I will cut most of the old BB out and close up whats left with some 16 gage sheet steel. I would like to fab up the 3spd jack shaft this weekend. Nito

Thx for the encouragement guys! The next items on the list will be BB relocation, shave old BB and the jack shaft. Nito

Tonight I cut the frame for an 8" stretch! 3 - 8" x 1" o.d. and some 7/8" o.d. to use as shims. Before... And after an 8" stretch.... Nito

Just sitting there!? Helo's are gold mines when you part them out! No joke, we just salvaged one that went own in the gulf bought for 65k parted out for 290k! Nito

My thoughts exactly. I definitely won't be jammin on the brakes to lay a down any sweet skids! That would probably rip the hub right out of the wheel!!! Thats probably why they come with canti brakes. I think the all in one trans. brake set up looks the best, but it's gonna put a ton of...

Unfortunately with the holidays and my helicopter side job there hasn't been much progress. I did do some design work on the 3spd jack shaft, scrounged a disc caliper from a mtn bike I found by my dumpster and mocked up the jack shaft placement. Keep in mind, the crank will be relocated...

Thats a great way to hang a fender for bodywork! Definitely using that idea!!! Great work btw. Nito

Glad to have ya! It's amazing...one man's junk is a Rat Rodder's dream!!! lol Nito

Tall bars, cut down seat tube with a brown hairpin seat on a laid back post as close to the frame and tire as you can get it. A Saulky or BOA on the rear. Nito
