well finally got some pics downloaded off my computer, tell me what ya think!
back section of frame cut-off even with the rest of the frame...
these two pics are how i reinforced the stock chassis, i used light gauge 1'' square tubing...
these two pictures are the seat mounted, i did change the back mounts the next day after a few mods were done around the seat...
the above three pics show how i used light gauge material to box the seat in to make it sorta look like it came that way. it also adds strength behind the seat where the axle bearing mounts will be installed, the seat is as far back as i could get it and still retain the original wheelbase...
these two pics show that i deed indeed leave the stock back half of the frame intact..
i built the front axle after carefully measuring the wheels and tires, the 4'' offset, and its built for 1.75" frame height with 13'' diameter front tires, this took some time, and i would easily just order an axle next time, the angles took some time to figure, its built of heavy gauge 1 1/2'' square tubing,but the end result turned out to my liking...next up is building the spindles and getting the rear axle installed, and start figuring out the fenders, planning on using mtd fenders,the 2 piece style, we will see
