Cleaned up some welds and tacked down plate...

Squared up and welded bearing hangers this morning... Had to mount them this way to have enough to weld to for strength. Want it as low as I can get it for stability...

Lined up and squared nicely....:shrug:

Shouldn't need to. The measurement from crankshaft to rear axle is 16" so I should be good. Measured another mini I have and it measured 17". In the pic it looks alot further than that though I will admit...:shrug: I am getting excited!!:laugh:I will have some extra free time this week so should be able to get alot more done...unk:

Looks sweet! Are you using 1" inch axle or 1 and a 1/4?
