i decided to start a "part two" of my build as the loading of 50 pictures had slowed the thread down a bit on opening it....here's the link if anyone new wants to see up to this point....

finally started build............

i just need to get some thinner steel then the 1/8" i have on hand for the shock and link mounting plates i need to braze to the frame....so far here pictures of the finished frame for now, please enjoy ..........bob

I like the bearings in there. Good job thinking out of the box. Gives it that total one off look.

Thats a nice clean looking chassis. I tried my hand at brazing and it looked like some one sneezed on my joint. I guess practice makes perfect.

here's some more pictures on my adjustable weights....after cutting the shell's just a bit longer then the hole is deep, then drilling the primers spark hole bigger to fit a jig to spin it in my drill....







this way i can use my drill sort of as a lathe to file and fit the shell to the wheel holes....



then i'll have a real looking dirty harry revolver cylinder ....



a buddy of mine has some primers i can have to install in the primer pockets to finish out the look i'm going for ................bob
