Looking forward to see that leaf spring in use. By the end of the build off you can use Etta James' "At Last" as your theme song.

got a lot done and the forks are coming together so here is were I am!

todays start point


the mount plate cut out and drilled


the cutout lines for finish plate size Did not have a big enough drill bill and my dremel died today so did the drill auger for irregular holes





will start welding stuff tomorrow and start cutting springs and rocker arms etc.



should be starting on the frame next week
