I love it ;)  Who makes that nose if you don't mind me asking? Also like the solid front axle I don't
 care for the torsion front myself although some do! My FED will have a solid axle also pretty narrow just my preferance I like em tucked ;D  Keep taking pics as you go love the build have you decided on a body yet?  Same tire on mine also I have some American Trac stars 15x14 with the 10.5x33!!!

Those V Series Welds will look nasty on that car 8)

i got the nose from parks , not cheap , i think around 300 bucks , but VERY nice piece , i also got his rear end up right and the motor plate up rights , made a few things easier for me .

i do plain on posting more pics as i go might be a few weeks , very busy in the shop just had a guy quit and now im just under the gun with double the work


body wise just from the engine back , nothing else . i kinda like the naked cars myself .

I like the naked cars, too. But you're gonna spend a lot of extra money for aluminium just out to the motor because it's WAY OUT THERE!!! But I hear that's a Parks thing. I'm not worthy to judge... That is the longest line-up bar I have ever seen outside of porn...

frank did help influence how far out to put it . i have some SW race cars fed blue prints im sort of using for guidance , and i think  in there ists around 40" out in a 200" car .

the alignment bar is from mark williams .   think its 80"   something like 1/4w 2-1/2 tubing . its real beafy !


no pics for the weekend , but i did get all the up right put in the front end . going to be a very long week before memorial day getting customers jobs done so wont be able to touch it till next weekend :(

Need to whack them handlebars about 6 feet lower, somebody's gonna look stupid trying to ride down the road like that. Drag bars would look a lot better on that bike, and 'ya might even be able to control it...
