Big Daddys Rat continues

[BigDaddy]

More on the progress of BDR 1,
Here are the pieces cut from plate to add the lines for the rat

All pieces welded into place

Final assembly minus the original fins... TOOOO sharp to have on rat even though it would have looked cool. Will most likely go with a shortened rear fender with some mods of course... this should keep the lines flowing better on the bike

All that needs to be done is a little bondo to smooothen it out, then painting will start ....I hope , if I don't come up with any last minute design changes

Parts ,parts ,parts.

Got a bunch of stuff the other day for "The
Rat"... All told to date, only 120 bucks invested so far , not bad for a build like this .

Notice the name on the dice?

Tires ..Front 20 x 1.75 .. Rear 20 x 2.125 slick..

If the weather gets better hopefully I will be able to get more done sooooon!!!! My back yard is my shop for now and it is a bit hard to work on raw steel in the rain.
If anyone has any comments or questions about the build so far don't hesitate to post a reply, good or bad... One can only improve on ones mistakes only if others are willing to help..
Thanks, Big Daddy
