17 year-old Matt is chopping his Campus again...
Pic 1- This is how it looked before tonight. He's already stretched it 6" in the frame and 8" in the handlebars. He also fabbed the springer and tubular swingarm. This campus originally was a basket case frame he got on ebay for $60.
Pic 2- He has a B&S 5.5 OHV that won't fit into the stock height of the frame, so he started with a front and rear downtubes chop.
Pic 3- The single front downtube was removed completely to make room for two lengthened downtubes he'll fabricate later.
Pic 4- He wasn't happy with the look of the tubular swingarms he made earlier, and started fabricating girder-type swingarms from half-inch square rod. He made the sketch on the table to explain how he wanted to get the look of a dragster-style wheelie bar incorporated into the swingarm.
Pic 5- The frame, waiting for sleeves to raise it 4", and new dual downtubes so this engine will fit. He's fabbing the new swingarm first.
