This is the very beginning of the project: the plan! Today I took some paper, a pencil and a measuring tape and figured out the basic dimensions (picture yourself a guy sitting on a chair driving an imaginary minibike while trying to read the measurements... ut: )
This is the result:
Pretty crude, I know, but you gotta start somewhere! Wheelbase is 36", seat height is 24" and handlebars height is 32". I'll go buy some 1x1 square tubing this week and start building. I'm sure the plan will change some during the build, it always does. At some point when building something, things just seem to fall into place: "this fits well here", "this should go there". I'm sure the guys at Ford do the same thing. They figure out where the spare tire should go once the car is 75% done :smile:
To be continued :hammer:
