got the front end on this one turned out to be similar to the higgins needing 1 1/8 to 1 adapter cups. this front end will get changed down the road but at least it sorta looks like something.
a friend gave me this model A ford front spring and shackles. i will be using the main leaf that is snaped in half which is perfect for my bike. plus the shackles are very cool.
got the front wheel welded up now i have to move the spokes over

Both bikes are looking great. Can't wait to see them finished!
got some more done today doing some mock up now that the front end is sorta in place.
the rear will end up longer than this i just was messing around
got the bottom bracket located and locked in
and the crank is in for now. took the front end back off for welding as i went with the chrome front end.

the only thing better than the great ideas and inspiration i get from you two, is that i can catch up with you'all at a local event and see it in person 8)

awww dont worry it will get done and at least mine will be entered into bike o rama next year and i think sensor was entering his there too i just dont want to do this comp. guess i owe ya some beer buddy
sorry to hear youre having NO FUN with this one....
ill leave it open until the kill date just in case though(btw....youve got a 95% chance of winning since mine is a really basic build...besides you dont know what i have planned for your trophy yet! i guess ill let that cat out of the bag now....miniature version of your bike :mrgreen: i wouldve started it already had i known what the rear would look like)
i know once you get about 90% done and just have little stuff left it starts getting tedious...
when i get burnt i just walk away for a week or 2 and come back fresh.....(f.w.i.w.) youve still got 9 months left :shock:
anyhow either way ill keep it open until the kill date(hope to see ya have fun with it since thats what this was supposed to be about :mrgreen: )
hope to see you at the end!!

i am i just feel bad that it is not coming together as fast as i want time has just not been easy to come by. been chasing down a heating issue in the wagon which has taken up a lot of my time. if you want to keep going i will but lets change something. see i also have a side bet with marcel who built the full custom winning bike at bike o rama last year that i would beat him this year. well it is going to take better paint than rattle can to beat him so i would need to have someone spray my bike. there is also one weld that i dont feel comfortable doing i dont trust myself on quite honestly and it would suck to have it snap at the rear pivot. he actually challenged me first and u know how that goes. so i will toss that ball in your court since you can spray pro paint. if you are cool with that then we shall continue hows that?
