Hey everyone! New to the forums, and to three wheelers but I'm starting to work on a Big Red somebody just left in my driveway. It's in horrible shape but I'm taking Welding 101 at trade school so I have a little project to mess around with up there. Honestly I haven't the slightest clue as to what to do but it's coming along. So far I'm working on the engine at home on my time and doing frame mock-up at trade. I jot down sketchs and what not during class because I honestly don't have to take any classes.
Here are some photos of what's happening but you get the jist. Future modification are:
- Custom made swing arm to adapt a chain driven rear end.
- Custom handle bars
- Hopefully I'll try my luck with the hydroforming and make a gas tank
- Custom front and rear fenders (sheet metal)
- I'm adapting a Koni shock and cutting the stock spring to get the right
stance.
- Other frame modifications
I'm doing this as an English 4 project and it has to be in an informative article about welding. It can't be english related and what better way to do an english report, ay? I hope you like and I'll keep updates if this turns into a hit.
