You do a great job of documenting your build, thanks.
I dont know if a band saw would help you on that heavy stuff. I like a torch tho its kinda crude sometimes (like its owner)! A plasma cutter looks cool but I never used one.

Yea i agree a band saw would make life a lot easier. This was all done with an grinder cut off wheel and time. Now ive just been sanding to get it ready for primer

Those dropouts look like alligator head silhouettes from this angle!

Haha wasn't intended, just didn't want square ones

Really like the curved seatpost tube. Lowering the rear is a cool idea too.

 

[karfer67]

Well just had a wrench thrown into the monkey. Apparently the customer does not want the blue, wants red. Lol back to it

Billy thank you, haven't had it fully mocked up with the lowered rear so im rolling a little dangerous. Just made sure the tire still clears and the chain.

Being a fan of cantilever frames and curved seat tubes......I Love The Frame!! I may have to steal some of these ideas on a future build! Nice work!

 

[karfer67]

Go for it. This particular one was sort of a brain fart with the seat post tube being heavily damaged and looking over at my 41 Elgin thinking hmmmmm. And no elgins were harmed in the making of this rat rod.

That curved seatpost is awesome. It will look great no matter what color the monkey wants.

the tank turned out to be an issue because its two different halves. One side chrome the other looked like someone sand blasted it. Have to finish painting the fork it had about 30 layers of old paint and has been a pain to strip.
