good job on the frame

not to sound like a hater but why does it seem like everyone but me can weld / braze a tuber

I'm pissed I'll have to buy one and not make my own.:-(

great job man!

it just takes a little practice and patience. do some readin online grab a mapp gas torch set up from a hard wear store and some brake line and just practice, its the only way you will ever learn

awesome lookin tuber! the only thing i'd change is the front end, it just seems a little empty.

[Krakker]

Are you planning on adding delrin or some form af plastic sheet to the bottom? That and adding some support to the front shock area would be my only concerns. And possibly if there's room for electronics on the top links to cycle upwards.

Im working on making a mold for the hood so that will fill up the front end.

I already have some lexan for the bottom i will have to post some more pics and I'm not sure how much room i will have to put stuff in the front yet im still working on getting the hood mold done.

nice....moving right along
why did you make the skid area so wide.....any reason?

[13u9]

Well i was trying somthing diffrent but i think i will do a narrow one tonight. Do you think i should just go narrower from the middle down or just build one the is narrower all around? and how narrow?
