Here you can see I have rebolted the running/foot boards on and I will show you how I open the center-remove the bar yet maintain support for the boards.
First thing I do is tack weld the rod to the frame on the inside of the frame itself. Once both sides are tacked in place I cut the center out.
Here you can see the cut and fully welded remaining bit of rod. Much more to come so stay tuned.
I have gotten the axle in fender hieght and seat mount done. Rear brakes done Frame notched for the sprocket, tranny pully belt guides and clutch mounted. All yesterday evening. Gonna service the other BP today gonna head up to a race in VA next weekend. So I'll get er ready today, do a bit more on the build up then post more pics this evening.
