Worked on the neck today. I think I had a harder time with this then the other TT. I use to have a nice piece of plywood in the basement that I would screw things into for holding. I cut the plywood up and made shelves.:laugh::laugh: I also made the lower

bar today but it is too long:doah: I will work on that tomorrow.:thumbsup:

 

[buckeye]

Just extend the rest of it so you can put a cool engine in it.:laugh:

Looks great Karen.:thumbsup:

A bit more progress today:thumbsup: I really made a bad cut on the down tube, think I had the angel backwards:laugh: My friend Tim just put a ton of weld in there for me. :laugh: Still need to clean up all the welds, but I wore out all my dremmel bits:laugh: Need to go buy some more grinding bits:laugh::laugh:

Yes, that engine would fit. I think this frame is 1/4 inch higher, and it is 2" shorter. :laugh: There is plenty of room with the :chinese: engine.

Made some progress today. I assembled the rear wheel, got the rear axel tabs welded on:thumbsup: I welded these axel tabs a bit lower so I would have more room on the front forks for the nut :wink:

 

[YOOP]

Karen, Why cant you mount the engine plate to the bottom of the frame rails to give yourself more engine room? I'm sure I'm missing sumthin but what?

I might do that:shrug: I was going to do that on the other bike and I didn't think it looked right.
