Well todays hour or so sees her looking alot more trike like, just waiting for some monster bolts for stub axles and the wheels to turn up and she'll be rolling. Gonna need a monster weldathon as most are only tacked at the moment, this is already a good thing as I need to take about 4 inches out of the front end, don't think I'd sleeved it as far as I thought on one of the joints there but I can barely reach the bars or front axle.
As you can see from pic of the rear end I used 2 bricks (a little less than 5") to put the axle at the height it will run at and the tray is 2" so that I can guarantee at least that amount of ground clearance. I have mounted the seat and frame well under the axle height to keep the COG nice and low and importantly because I think they look cooler like that
Hopefully have some wheels here tomorrow.
