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   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

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

Ok now yours looks way to much like the car sitting in my shop. Guess I'll have to get some pictures together and do a post also.Oh my extra project is my springer and my RKC,one bar hopper and one cross country rider.

[225digger]

well over the past few weeks i got the front end almost done . got the uprights and diags in . still going to add another cross bar in the upper rail above the front axle ....... but next move . i need to make front motor plates , and also a plate that attaches the stock chevy motor mounts to the upper frame rails ...... then its onto finishing up the roll cage . i ordered an ISP seat foam kit . so i need to make that then the cage ...... then i think its ready for final welding !..... will post more when i get the chance . more work than show and tell around here these days ......

bikes done ! ..... no news on the digger have been real busy getting customer stuff done , and a few weeks ago i some how got inflamed tendons on my left ankle , so its been a painfull few weeks trying ot get it better ... no interest in working on the car after doing customer stuff all day..

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...
